​Mourinho facing sack if Chelsea lose to Liverpool

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho could find himself out of a job if Chelsea lose to Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

The Mirror is reporting the 52-year-old Portuguese manager is skating on very thin ice, following the Blues' 2-1 defeat to West Ham last weekend.

The loss was Cheslea's fifth of the season and leaves them sitting in 15th place on the Premier League ladder.

It is understood Chelsea's top brass are just as concerned with Mourinho's increasingly erratic behaviour as they are with the poor run of results.

Mourinho was sent to the stands against West Ham for allegedly launching a verbal attack on referee Jon Moss.

Earlier in the season, Mourinho was issued a £50,000 and a suspended stadium ban for criticising referees.
