Mourinho: Chelsea Won't Be Caught

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho does not believe Chelsea will slip up in the title race as his side kept up pace with the top of the Premier League.

United's 2-0 win over Watford at Old Trafford, thanks to goals from Juan Mata and Anthony Martial, means they are now a point off the top four places, and 11 points off leaders Chelsea.

Chelsea play at Burnley on Monday Night Football, and with 14 games remaining, the former Blues boss says he does not believe anyone will catch them.

Mourinho told Sky Sports when asked if United themselves can catch Chelsea: "Honestly I don't think so. Why? Because Chelsea are a very good defensive team, they defend very well and defend with lots of players, very good players, and are very well organised.

"I think in this situation, a very defensive team wins the title with counter-attack goals, set pieces goals, and individual goals from talented players. So I don't think they're going to let it slip.

"But football is football, you never know."
