Chelsea to sack Jose Mourinho?

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich will reportedly part ways with manager Jose Mourinho should he fail to earn a win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge next Saturday.

The Blues' boss suffered more misery as his side lost 2-1 at West Ham United to register their fifth league defeat of the campaign.

Mourinho was ushered up the stands after he showed dissent to referee Jon Moss's decision to offer a second yellow card to Nemanja Matic right on the stroke of half-time.

The Mirror now understands that the club's hierarchy are not impressed with the manager's behaviour, and a defeat to the Reds may well end the 52-year-old's stint at the Premier League holders.

Jose Mourinho's side stand 15th in the league standings, 11 points behind joint leaders Manchester City and Arsenal.
