Chelsea boss Mourinho rates Aston Villa highly

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho expects a tough test against Aston Villa tonight.

Mourinho is wary of Villa following their success at Arsenal.

"It's not such a big surprise because Aston Villa can do that to any one of us," Mourinho said. "Last season they had more points away from home than at Villa Park.

"They are a team with qualities to play away, to play the counter-attack game they played at the Emirates.

"They are a good team. It's not such a big drama, they can beat any one of the contenders."
