Jose Mourinho will get REACTION out of Chelsea players - Ronald Koeman
SOUTHAMPTON manager Ronald Koeman is wary of a Chelsea backlash after the Blues crashed out of the Champions League in midweek.
Saints travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday seeking to upset the Premier League leaders and continue their chase for a top-five finish.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are licking their wounds after crashing out 3-3 on aggregate to PSG in the Champions League last-16 on Wednesday night.
And Koeman believes Blues boss Jose Mourinho will get a "reaction" out of the players during Sunday's early kick off.
"I don't know when it's a good time to face them," the Dutchman said. "It's always a difficult time.
We couldn t cope with the pressure- Mourinho [AMBIENT]
"It's a big team, a strong team with some great players and of course they are very disappointed after the last Wednesday result.
"If you play 60 minutes against 10 players, you don't expect that final result and maybe a little bit more under pressure.
"They fight after the League Cup title and after that, not the most important one, they fight for the title.
"They need a win after a disappointing result but they will give a reaction you normally expect as a manager."
