Jose Mourinho suggests Chelsea's leadership is all down to him.

The Blues boss revealed that he believes the champions-elect have followed him to top spot on the Premier League table as they close in on a fifth league title.

"Chelsea leadership is my leadership," said Mourinho. "For good and for bad. It's not the players' leadership."

When asked further regarding whether his leadership relates to the pitch as well, Mourinho added: "Yes. Their place is in the dressing room."
