Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri believes Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is capable of turning around the Blues' floundering Premier League campaign.

Chelsea sit just one point above the relegation zone ahead of Monday night's clash with the high-flying Foxes.

Ranieri could heap more misery on his Portuguese counterpart with a win over the Blues at the King Power Stadium, however he does not believe such a result will spell the end of Mourinho's second tenure at Stamford Bridge.

"[Chelsea owner Roman] Abramovich knows Jose very well and he knows only Jose in this moment can bring up the team. He has the quality," Ranieri said.
