EPL's top two on collision course

THERE is simply no rest for the weary, especially in a sport as demanding as football, as English Premier League (EPL) leaders Chelsea will soon find out.

Jose Mourinho will lead his men out at Stamford Bridge on Saturday (1.30am Sunday, Singapore time) against the defending champions Manchester City, barely four days after surviving a bruising League Cup semi-final win over Liverpool that went into extra time.

It took Chelsea 210 minutes in total to dispose of Liverpool over two legs and book their place in the League Cup final on March 1 at London's Wembley Stadium.
