Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that he may not even watch his side take on Stoke City on television, instead suggesting he could sit on a 'street corner with my iPad'.

The Portuguese will be banned from the stadium on Saturday and as he can't make contact with his staff during the game, he has discussed almost every scenario for the fixture with his assistants.

The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports 1 at 5.30pm, but Mourinho, who will travel with his squad to Stoke, says there might not be much point in him tuning in as he can't influence the outcome.

According to the under-pressure boss, an iPad or just simply following proceedings on social media could be the best options.

'Maybe I sit on the street corner with my iPad, I don't know,' he told the media at his pre-match press conference at Cobham on Friday.

'Maybe I don't even watch the game, what's the point if I can't make decisions.'

'Maybe [Twitter]. Maybe live scores, I don't know.'

Jose's champions have meanwhile already lost five league games this season, and are slumped in 15th in the table. The Champions League victory seems to have done little to lift the manager's spirit.

Jose doesn't see much point in viewing as he can't make any decisions from outside the stadium

Steve Holland, Rui Faria, Silvino Louro and Co will be in charge of making Jose's substitutions on Saturday, with the 52-year-old serving a one-match stadium ban for confronting referee Jonathan Moss in Chelsea's defeat by West Ham last month.

As well as covering 'every' eventuality of the game, Mourinho has given an insight into how his day will pan out without standing on the touchline.

'I'll travel with the players,' he said. 'I will be with them until the moment somebody stops me, which I think is when I am in the limit of the stadium or facility.

'We know when I have to stop to be with the players. I have to get off the bus before we arrive at the stadium.'
