Champions League News: Jose Mourinho has given a clear indication of how seriously he is treating his psychological battle with Barcelona's Frank Rijkaard. The Chelsea manager has changed his schedule to have the last word before tomorrow's Champions League second leg.

Chelsea originally announced that Mourinho would hold his press conference more than two hours before Rijkaard at Stamford Bridge today, but the Portuguese has switched his slot to speak after the Dutchman - to have the final say before his players try to overturn a 2-1 deficit.

He seems to have been trying to unnerve the usually calm Rijkaard since before the initial game. He first mentioned his opposite number's inferior coaching record, then named both teams on the eve of the match and finally accused Rijkaard of seeking to influence the referee Anders Frisk at half-time at Camp Nou.

Mourinho has admitted he is calculating in his media dealings. "When I go to the press conference before the game, in my mind the game has already started," he has said.

He has been proved correct in predicting the appointment of Pierluigi Collina to referee tomorrow's match. Mourinho had said the Italian would be "perfect", calling him "the best in the world" and "above all pressures".

Chelsea may have Arjen Robben available after a foot injury. Mourinho said the Dutchman would decide after today's training whether he felt ready to play. After five weeks out he seems likely to be a substitute at best.

Mateja Kezman has called Barcelona "a good team", but "not unbeatable". "They played well with the ball in the Nou Camp," he said, "but this time we will see how they can cope when they're the team that is under pressure".

Meanwhile, the Premier League has denied that Chelsea are not cooperating with the inquiry into the alleged tapping-up of Arsenal's Ashley Cole, contrary to reports in a British Sunday newspaper.
