Mourinho 'pretty confident' Chelsea will win title

Jose Mourinho is was in a bullish mood on Sunday regarding Chelsea's Premiership chances.

The Portuguese tactician saw his side produce a 3-2 victory over Hull City to remain six points clear of second-placed Manchester City with a game in hand.

The Blues have nine fixtures left to remain ahead of City and Mourinho is self-assured that the west Londoners can clinch the 2014/15 Premier League title.

"I'm not pretty sure, I'm pretty confident. I believe in my players, I believe that we can do it but I know it's difficult," he said.

"I keep thinking the same, the title race should be over. In normal conditions, Chelsea should have eight, 10, 12 points more than we have; title race over.

"But football is unpredictable and the reality is we have a six-point lead, one game in hand, which is our best situation for the whole season."
