Mourinho :Title Is Man City's To Lose


JOSE Mourinho has opened the mind games with Manuel Pellegrini by insisting Manchester City should walk away with the Barclays Premier League title.
The Etihad Stadium club are second, a point a drift of leaders Arsenal who are two points ahead of third placed Chelsea.

But despite what is shaping up to be the most open title race in years, Mourinho insists there is only one club who should be crowned champions in May.
"Let's see what we can do and let's see if Man City kills everybody or if they keep being close to all of us," said the Portuguese.
"Am I trying to pressure on them? Do you think I am? Do you think I'm capable of it?
"See their squad, see the players, the number of goals, see the strikers.
"[Edin] Dzeko is the third striker of Man City. Dzeko. Do you think I'm putting pressure?
"[Stevan] Jovetic, their fourth. Should they feel any pressure? I don't think so.
"I think they know how good they are and I think they know they are the favourites. I don't think they feel any pressure."
Chelsea can keep the pressure on City and Arsenal with victory against Southampton.

The fact the Blues are still viewed as realistic contenders for the title illustrates a marked improvement on the previous two seasons.
"We are okay, last year in this moment we were 12 or 11 points behind the leader, so it was game over," said Mourinho, who insisted he is not in the market for a new centre-forward despite the lack of goals from his current strikers.
"At this moment we are two points behind, so game on. Let's keep going.
