Chelsea v Liverpool: Jose Mourinho recalls big guns despite looming clash with Manchester City

While City have a full week to prepare for the potential decider in what appears to be a two-horse race for the Premier League title, Mourinho has confirmed that Nemanja Matic, Branislav Ivanovic, Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard will all return. Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and John Terry, the captain, will also start against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

Its a knockout game, live or die, against a very good team, which was not the case [on Saturday], he said. So maybe the fact that we play against a good team, maybe that will push us on to a different level of concentration and motivation that we couldnt reach on Saturday.

I have to analyse the game and see which players deserve more to play but obviously I rest some of them with the intention of playing against Liverpool. So it is easy to understand that Matic, Ivanovic, Costa, Fabregas, Hazard are going to play in the next game.

Mourinho, though, is still adamant that he did not regret his selections against Bradford, who he inadvertently referred to as Barnsley. Is there any player in Barnsley, err Bradford, that can play for Chelsea? With all the respect? No. A Chelsea player that should play for them and be the top player for them, yes. So the selection was good. The players should obviously win this game easily.

The Chelsea manager said that defeat by Bradford would stay in our history forever but he was still adamant that it could influence his players positively on Tuesday. At the end of May we dont go to Wembley for the FA Cup final. The FA Cup is finished for us. We dont go even to play the FA Cup semi-final. So to go there should mean a lot to everyone. We are one victory from the final.

Mourinho said that he would be making no special plans for Raheem Sterling even after his goal in the first leg. He scored a fantastic goal but I didnt see too much more than that. I think Chelsea played defensively very well. In that action he was fantastic and we made a couple of mistakes in the way we approached that situation.

I was frustrated after the first leg because Liverpool gave a lot of space. They play with three defenders, the full-backs are wide. We could hurt them much more than we did there. I was frustrated because normally our midfield is full of quality. Very good quality after losing the ball and we lost so many passes. In that game I saw enough space to score more goals.

Gaston Day School wants to knock out a world record

You could carve out a place in history next weekend and find your way into the Guinness Book of World Records. Gaston Day Schools National Honor Society and Beta Club students hope to host a world record round of knockout an elimination-style basketball game on Jan. 24, and raise money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The concept of the game is simple. Players form a long line and take one shot from the free throw line. If they make a basket, they stay alive and move to the back of the line, waiting to shoot again. When shooters miss, theyre free to make a mad dash for the ball and take a follow-up shot but theyve got to be quick. If the next player in line hits a shot before the first shooter, the first shooter is bounced from the game.

630 to break the record Wade Glaser, the track and field coach at Gaston Day, came up with the idea last fall to break a standing world record. He was looking for a way to challenge high achievers and jump start the school honor societys activities. We wanted something that was going to garner a lot of interest, Glaser said. A world record has done that, I think. Students chose knockout because the game is both entertaining and because breaking the current record 629 shooters seemed attainable. Its a record that has raced upward in recent years, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Buick hosted a record-breaking event at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans in 2012. Most recently, fans of the NBAs Brooklyn Nets set the mark with 629 shooters on Oct. 26, 2014.

Students step up The logistics of setting up a world record attempt have been daunting for the schools students, Glaser said. Were learning on the fly the hard way, Glaser said. We had to reach out to Guinness in September, and weve sort of navigated the paperwork process since then. While Glaser has handled the paperwork behind the scenes, hes proud of the way his students have stepped up. They designed the T-shirts and logos, figured out the best way to pack that many people into the schools gym and have taken over the events social media efforts. I think many of them have much more appreciation for the kinds of effort, the moving parts that go with an event like this, Glaser said. I had to push and prod to get them going at first, but eventually theyve really taken ownership of this. Its gratifying to see that.

Cant do it without you The school will need help to reach the goal, Glaser said. Gaston Day has roughly 500 students, and many of those are elementary students who wont be playing. The hardest part has been convincing people to come out and give a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon to do this, Glaser said. I feel like our registration is starting to pick up steam this week. I honestly think well break this or come close, but were going to need the community to turn out to do it.
