Mourinho has already blasted Wenger earlier this season, dubbing the Frenchman a "specialist in failure" for his long silverware drought.

"I admire him and I admire Arsenal, because it's not possible to have 1,000 matches unless the club is also a fantastic club in the way they support the manager, especially in the bad moments and especially when the bad moments were quite a lot", Mourinho was quoted as saying by ITV.
Chelsea head into the contest sitting on top of the Premier League, four points ahead of Wenger's Arsenal, who are third.
