Chelsea will be responsible in final match of the season - Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho insists his team will not perform below par in the final match of the season.

The Blues were easily beaten 3-0 by West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns on Monday night but with a match that could shape a relegation spot still to come, Mourinho does not expect a similar output against Sunderland next weekend.

"In the last match, if other teams are waiting for us - if Sunderland need the game, if Hull City or Newcastle need the game - I think we are going to feel that responsibility," he told Sky Sports.

"Hopefully we can perform different than we did today."

Sunderland currently sit 16th on the table with Wednesday night's fixture with Arsenal and Sunday's meeting with the Blues to come while Hull City are 18th and Newcastle United are 17th ahead of their respective fixtures with Manchester United and West Ham United.
