Jose Mourinho will be on the bench for Chelsea vs Liverpool match at Stamford Bridge

Jose Mourinho will be on the touchline on Saturday for the must-win clash between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford bridge.

The embattled Chelsea manager was charged by the FA for misconduct during his club's loss at West Ham last weekend.

It is understood that his case will not be dealt with before Saturday’s 12.45pm clash with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

According the Mirror, Mourinho will be free to take his place in the dug-out near Jurgen Klopp for what could be his last game – the Portuguese is facing the sack if he presides over a ninth defeat during Chelsea’s disastrous start.

Mourinho has been hit by the FA for allegedly abusing referee Jon Moss at half-time at Upton Park and for refusing to leave the match officials’ room.
