Arsene Wenger refuses to confirm whether he'll shake hands with Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho ahead of Premier League clash.
London club managers, Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho, will go head-to-head for the first time since the Community Shield, where the pair did not acknowledge each other after the clash.
The arch rivals have an ongoing feud, and Wenger refused to answer questions regarding his relationship with Mourinho at his press conference on Friday morning.
On his Relationship with Mourinho who he always clashes with:
No special relationship (between any manager) is my worry, all I worry about is our performance. I respect everybody in the job and focus on what I love and that is football. All the rest honestly does not concern me much. Realistically people come to watch football and all the rest is a little bit secondary. What is important is the quality of what we will see tomorrow morning at 12.45 and you want people to focus on that.
On if he would shake Mourinho's hand and if he regretted their touchline bust-up:
I don't want to talk about that. I have nothing more to say about this situation.
On if he felt Chelsea were in decline for the poor start to the season:
I don't know, I leave that to the specialists. I take care of my team and my own problems.
On goalkeeper, Petr Cech returning to Stamford Bridge for the first time since leaving Chelsea:
It is always difficult to go back to your club and play but I believe that he has fortunately handled that this season. That is why I decided to play him as well in the Community Shield. It is the first step that is important and he has dealt very well with it
