We’ll win league, says Blues boss

JOSE MOURINHO finally predicted that his Chelsea side would become the club’s first champions for 50 years.

On the day Mourinho was hit with a charge of improper conduct for claiming Manchester United’s players cheated in the first leg of their Carling Cup semi-final at Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea manager claimed for the first time that the title was theirs for the taking.

Chelsea, 10 points clear of nearest rivals and reigning champions Arsenal, are odds-on favourites to win the Barclays Premiership and now Mourinho agrees with the bookies. The Blues need to win 11 of their remaining games to walk off with their first title since 1955.
