Jose Mourinho will look to win his second Premier League game this season when Chelsea takes on Aston Villa on Wednesday.
Mourinho's club jumped out to a 2-0 victory in its first game of the season against Hull City on Sunday. Oscar and Frank Lampard scored the goals for the Blues.
"It is three points and no doubt a deserved victory,'' Mourinho said of the victory, according to ESPN. "It was a brilliant first half. High intensity, high quality.
However, he was wary of his squad's performance in the second 45 minutes of the game.
"The second half was not the same as the first but that is not a surprise because our pre-season has not been an easy one," he said. "It was a very good level. The game was always under control.''
Lampard also said that his club could not rest on its laurels from its performance in the first match.
"What matters now is Aston Villa come on Wednesday after beating Arsenal with a very quick and young team, so we can't rest on our laurels. We have to keep kicking on," he said, according to MSN Sports.
The Blues will take on an Aston Villa side that shocked the world in its opening game. The squad took down Arsenal 3-1 on the road in stunning fashion with Christian Benteke providing two of the goals.
Prediction: Chelsea wins 2-1.
