REALLY? Mourinho insists Man Utd can beat Chelsea in title race

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho claims Manchester United can beat them in the title race.Chelsea take on Newcastle tomorrow boasting a six point lead over their closest challengers Manchester City, while United are a massive 12 points behind.

When asked if he thought it was now just a two horse race for the championship, a surly Mourinho said: "No, I don't think that. (A lead of) 10-11-12 points I don't think is a drama at this stage of the season with so many games to go. 11 points (for United) is not much."

When pressed that it would take Chelsea to lose four games to help them catch up, he added: "We can. It's football, that can happen."
