Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock is relishing pitting his and his players' wits against Chelsea's expensively assembled squad at the weekend.

The Blades boss admitted he has been looking forward to the Bramall Lane meeting since the summer and can't wait to take on his Blues counterpart Jose Mourinho.

"I did write to Jose in the summer when he congratulated me and I said that ours might be the only two games he loses this year, and who knows," claimed Warnock.

"It will be great looking at £50million or £60million worth of strikers, while Claude Davis is our Rolls Royce at £2.5million.

"But it is 11 against 11 and it is going to be such a different atmosphere."
