Man Utd legend Scholes expects Mourinho to stick with Zouma

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes expects Jose Mourinho to stick with Kurt Zouma inside Chelsea's defence.

Zouma was selected ahead of Gary Cahill for the Capital One Cup win over Liverpool.

Scholes wrote in the London Evening Standard: "Mourinho will know that his team, so impressive at the start of the season, are starting to creak a little in defence. He changed it for this game by bringing in Kurt Zouma to give himself more pace in the centre of defence.

"The Mourinho teams I played against were built on a very solid defensive base but they have conceded five to Spurs and four to Bradford this month."
