"People talk about never say die attitude.  Forget ability for a second, when you are down in the dumps in a game and losing by a goal or two, everyone has got to have that physical capability to get back in the game and that's what's impressed me the most about Leicester City". 

Enough of this Chelsea and Arsenal chat, what about the team sitting second in the Premier League, Claudio Ranieri's Leicester City? Over to you, Danny...

"This handshake thing is as a result of the big-name manager, plus the increase in 24 hour football coverage in the media. It might add to the build-up to the fixture but it'll have little or no effect on the game itself. Or does it? I feel Arsene Wenger can get affected by Jose."

"I think it's damaging for the game that two major managers don't take part in a handshake - it's disrespectful to the game. 

 "Chelsea have not performed at the start of this season and I think it's in part to do with the intensity of Jose Mourinho this season. I don't think he's been stable since the start of the season - his side has imploded and it's a crisis for Chelsea."

We have a hand shake at Stamford Bridge, repeat, a handshake at Stamford Bridge. It wasn't exactly warm and friendly, but I can confirm that the right hands of Jose Mourinho and Arsene Wenger have made contact and moved up and down a bit in standard handshaking fashion. We can all go home now right? Oh no, wait, there's a game of football as well. And you can follow that here.

"Ivanovic the Chelsea captain today? This is huge. In big games like this you need your bread and butter players in your side, the people who know how to win big games. There's no bigger, experienced Chelsea player than John Terry. 

"Chelsea's poor current form is down to losing their leader, because of Terry's poor form."

It's a big statement leaving Terry out, because for me he is the first name on the team sheet. But Jose sees Terry train everyday, we don't. 

The game is under way at the City Ground between Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough . You can follow it via a live text commentary here.

"This is the perfect fixture for Chelsea's players. It has been a difficult time for them, so a win today could get them back on the top of their games. 

"I think the Blues, with home advantage and having won this fixture last year, might just edge this today."

Here are some snapshots of that Premier League table that Jose Mourinho has told Blues fans not to focus on...

Beating the Premier League to the punch by a whole 15 minutes is today's early Championship game between Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough - a match between two sides with top-flight pasts and elite aspirations.

Boro have started the season well and sit second behind unbeaten Brighton, while Forest are seven places and three points worse off. Once again, the Championship lives up to the tag of being one of the toughest divisions going.
