On what is being dubbed 'Grand Slam Sunday' by broadcasters showing the games live, Chelsea's match is followed by Man United versus Arsenal as the teams the Chelsea manager expects to finish in the top four go head-to-head. “I think it is nice,” he said looking forward after Friday's training. “I would prefer one game on the Saturday and another game on the Sunday so I could enjoy it by seeing the other game,” he smiled, “but it is always enjoyable for people who love the game, these big matches between the big teams. “Chelsea and Liverpool played on Tuesday in the Champions League, Man United and Arsenal played Wednesday so the resting time is exactly the same for the teams that play each other.” If Chelsea and Man United are both victorious at the weekend then we would be sitting on 12 points, Man U on 15 with Liverpool stuck on 4 points and Arsenal 2. “And if the opposite happens? Arsenal beat Man United and Liverpool beat us?” questioned Mourinho. “I think we cannot go with the ifs. It is just the beginning of the season. “Points are important, especially for the teams that are coming from behind. If they lose again they will start to be in a difficult position, but all four are good teams, all are better this season than last - more players, better players, better solutions — I don't believe after Sunday a loser says it is over for me.” Joe Cole, who scored in three of the last four Premiership meetings between Chelsea and Liverpool will be kept out of Sunday's home game by his knee injury. He attempted a comeback in the closing stages of Tuesday's game versus Werder Bremen, playing the last ten minutes. That was after injuring knee ligaments in Chelsea's first pre-season game in America. However the player now needs further recovery time before playing again. But Mourinho has announced that Arjen Robben will be involved in Sunday's match. He is back in the squad for the first time in three-and-a-half weeks having recovered from a calf problem. Mourinho said: “I like to play with people wide. I think Robben played a very good game against Man City and after that we were waiting for more but the next game against Middlesbrough, he was injured in the warm-up. “After that, I was four consecutive matches without him. I like to play with people wide so I need him back. Again we don't have both Robben and Cole at the same time. But we have one of them.” Mourinho believes being denied both his most-selected wide players for any game this season is one of the factors that has prevented the side hitting top gear yet. “It means we haven't had the chance to use different styles of play during a game,” he explains. “The first problem is to keep our level of performance during 90 minutes, because we played much better against Charlton and Werder Bremen in the first-half than the second-half. “The second point is about automatic movements — like playing with a blindfold. “You need to know what your fellow players are doing. You need to know when you make a cross and Shevchenko makes his movement, that he goes to this space or he wants the ball in that spot. It is the kind of routines we need. “Any day, any game, Shevchenko will go there and score two or three goals and is again in a scoring period,” Mourinho believes. “But we need to work collectively, like we trained today. “Today we trained like we never did this season before. It was one of the few days we have had to work tactically and on co-ordination in the team. We had a very good session today and next week we will have again two or three days like that because we play Sunday and then Saturday. “This is the kind of week we need, especially the new players to feel better inside of the team.” Mourinho gave progress reports on two of those new players — Khalid Boulahrouz, right-back for the last three games, and his new left-back, Ashley Cole. “I know that Boulahrouz's best position is central defence but we have in Ricardo and JT, two great players for that position, doing very well for us. “I feel safe by having Boulahrouz in the squad because he gives me protection in case of problems with these two players, but at the same time, defensively he is very, very safe. “I normally say in relation to this type of player, he is a player of no mistakes. When I say no mistakes, of course sometimes the mistakes will come but overall he is a player that plays very safe in the game. He gives us a lot of security. “In terms of the group, Ashley Cole is feeling very good. This is an easy place to adapt to. In terms of football, it is not so easy. He played for Arsenal in a certain system and a certain philosophy for a long, long time and I can imagine it is hard to come here and with a click of his fingers, be at his top level. But he is improving and again the work we are doing today has been important. “We have to wait but while we are doing this work, if we can do it without losing points, that is perfect. If you don't lose points now and your best time is still to arrive, you can be very positive.” -- 当我漫游在斯坦弗森林时，我看见了雀尔西，米尔斯的女儿，在傍晚初升的明月中， 在泰晤士河旁一处林地空间上翩然舞蹈。所有痛苦的记忆都离开了我，我像落入迷离 幻境中一般，因为雀尔西是伊露维塔儿女中最美的一位。她身上那袭蓝色的衣裳宛如 万里无云的晴空，她灰色的眼睛像是傍晚群星闪烁的天空；她的斗篷上绣着金色的花 朵，她的头发漆黑如暮色中的阴影。她的荣光与美好，就像树叶上的光芒，像是潺潺 流水，像是这迷离世界上方闪烁的繁星；她脸上有闪亮的光辉。 --
