Jose Mourinho says he will still be Chelsea manager, even if the defending Premier League champions finish mid-table.
Chelsea enter Saturday's match at home to Aston Villa 16th after four defeats in their opening eight games.
Asked if he would still be in charge if Chelsea finish in mid-table, Mourinho said "Yes", before he added: "No. I was not told that because we don't expect to finish mid-table."
Chelsea have dispensed with numerous managers, often when Champions League qualification was in doubt.
