Jose Mourinho has revealed that midfielder Nemanja Matic has taken on the responsibility of giving Chelsea's pre-match team talk for this afternoon's Premier League encounter away at Liverpool.

The BT Sport cameras at Anfield captured the Serbian speaking intently with his teammates during the warm-up and when asked why that was the case, Mourinho revealed that he often gives one of his players that role.

"Nemanja Matic is the man to speak today. Not me. I finished my work with them at the hotel. Every game we have one player to say a couple of words and today is Matic's day," he said.
