Mourinho happy for Chelsea to take on Man City

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has welcomed his side's FA Cup quarter-final clash with Manchester City.

The Blues have been drawn with their Premier League title rivals in the final 16 of the prestigious cup competition but Mourinho is looking forward to heading to the Etihad Stadium on the weekend of February 15,16 after going there in the league two weeks earlier.

"It's good, that's good," Mourinho said. "Our priority for the season is to improve and the best way to improve is difficult tests.

"We play against the best team twice in 15 days, in the best stadium, in the stadium where they win every week, smash everyone, score four, five goals every game even against the big teams like Arsenal, Tottenham, United.

"It's a good thing for us. We are playing very well in my opinion. It's good for us; if we lose, we lose against the best. If we don't lose, it's fantastic."
