Norwich City's Anthony Pilkington hails Jose Mourinho

Norwich City midfielder Anthony Pilkington says that Jose Mourinho is one of the best as his side prepare to take on Chelsea at Carrow Road on Sunday.

Norwich City midfielder Anthony Pilkington has hailed the achievements of Jose Mourinho as his side prepare to face Chelsea at Carrow Road in the Premier League on Sunday.

The 25-year-old looks to have regained his place in the starting XI after injury hampered his start to the season, and Pilkington knows that taking on Jose Mourinho will be tough.

"He is one of the best. It is as simple as that. You look at his record and his trophy collection. His house must be massive for all the trophies that he has to fit in there," Pilkington told reporters.

"He is a great manager and it looks like Chelsea will be up their challenging again like when he was there the first time. They got a good result in the Champions League in midweek so we are under no illusions how tough it will be.

"You can understand why any player would want to play for him because he manages the best teams, he has managed the top teams in Europe and won trophies, but hopefully he won't be going home happy on Sunday."

Norwich go into the game against Chelsea hoping to win back-to-back league games following the 1-0 victory at Stoke City last weekend.
