# Spurs fans angry with Mourinho ahead of Chelsea clash

Some Tottenham Hotspur fans are not happy with manager Jose Mourinho ahead of this weekend’s London derby against Chelsea.

The north London club fell to a [narrow defeat](https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1230249417854390278) at home on Wednesday evening against Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League and many fans were not happy with the manager’s tactics and style of play.

The former Chelsea boss has guided Spurs to [fifth place](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) in the Premier League, meaning they are now just one point behind the Blues.

The reverse fixture earlier this season in the league at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium saw Frank Lampard’s side[emerge victorious](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/dec/22/tottenham-hotspur-chelsea-premier-league-match-report)thanks to a Willian brace.

However, that match is mainly remembered for the controversy surrounding [Heung-Min Son’s red card,](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/dec/23/jose-mourinho-confirms-tottenham-have-appealed-sons-red-card-against-chelsea)as he was sent off for kicking out at Antonio Rudiger and for[alleged racial abuse](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/dec/22/tottenham-hotspur-chelsea-premier-league-match-report) towards the defender.

Mourinho, we feel, may get a frosty reception on his return to Stamford Bridge and judging by these Spurs fans [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1230272347187417089), he’s not a popular figure in north London either at the moment.
