Jose Mourinho delighted with Chelsea form

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that he is not contemplating resting any of his star players ahead of the trip to Sunderland.

Mourinho's side are currently six points clear at the top of the Premier League table, but despite the Blues facing a busy period in December, the Portuguese coach has revealed that he has no intention of making unnecessary alterations.

The 51-year-old told reporters: "For us, every competition is important, so we don't rest players and we try to play with our best team.

"Every player in my squad is fantastic and I'm so happy with all of them. The only risk we don't have is complacency.

"My untouchables are the ones who aren't playing, they are responsible for what we are doing. They are all ready to help."

Chelsea are yet to lose in 19 games in all competitions this season.
