Karanka needs to draw on his inner Jose Mourinho

There is one man who manages to get under Arsene Wenger’s skin more than any other. He also manages to beat him time and time again.

That man may not be Aitor Karanka, but given the Boro manager has spent more time with the Chelsea boss than most and has access to his advice and words of wisdom even now, you have to imagine that Karanka will have spoken to the Blues boss ahead of this massive game.

Mourinho will have plenty of tips on how to get one over on Wenger – he has done it enough times – and now is the time to use them.
