Inter Milan boss Jose Mourinho is backing former club Chelsea to win the Premiership this season.

Mourinho returned to Chelsea for the first time since his departure two years ago to scout his old club ahead of their Champions League date.

He told The Sun: "I really think they can win the Premier League again this season.

"They are top of the league and already it looks like Liverpool are out of the race for sure.

Mourinho added: "I'll never forget running down the line at Old Trafford with Porto. But I will not do that here. I will not celebrate.

"If we win I will do nothing. I have a love affair with Chelsea so I will not celebrate."
