Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho, has insisted that his team are not favourites to win the title.
The Blues are currently on top of the Premier League table, two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City. Mourinho’s men can go five points clear, with a win over Swansea on Saturday. But the Portuguese was keen to play down their chances.
He said: “We are not favourites, we are candidates. We have led from day one but if we were two points behind I would say the same.”
Mourinho also refused to respond directly to claims he questioned Phil Dowd’s weight, during their 5-3 loss at Tottenham Hotspur on New Year Day.
“I go to the referees’ dressing room after the game with the captains,” he said. “We can go 30 minutes after.
“Sometimes the words are normal and wish good luck for the next game. Other times we discuss what happened in the game like men. Sometimes they are surprised.”
