Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that his team selection for the match at Liverpool won't be revealed until Sunday.

Mourinho has hinted that he could play a weakened team at Anfield as his side try to prepare for the second leg of their Champions League semi-final with Atletico Madrid. However, at the pre-match press conference before the game on Merseyside, the Portuguese coach remained silent when pressed for news on his selection.

The 51-year-old told reporters: "I can't say the truth because I don't feel free. I can't speak. I play mind games? You wait for Sunday and Sunday you will know our team.

"Every team I speak, there is a consequence. I don't feel free at all. If you want a better press conference, speak with the FA."

Chelsea currently sit five points adrift of leaders Liverpool with three games remaining.
