Chelsea thoroughly deserve Premier League title - Mourinho

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has claimed that his team are worthy winners of Premier League title this season.

The Blues have led maintained top spot on the league table since early in the campaign and suffered defeat just twice during the current campaign to lead second-placed and third-placed Manchester City and Arsenal by 10 points.

Mourinho felt that all other 19 managers would agree with him that Chelsea have been the best team in England's top flight all season.

"Do you think in the Premier League there is one manager who will say that Chelsea don't deserve to be champions?" asked the Blues boss on chelseafc.com

"If, one day, we are champions, ask every manager just to know their simple opinion, and they will say yes or no. They're free to say yes or no. It's just an opinion. I think, out of 19 managers, a huge percentage will say Chelsea deserve to win the league.

"It's about establishing the criteria: who scored the most beautiful goals in the Premier League? Is that a criteria? If so, Chelsea did it collectively. Or you go to Charlie Adam, and that is obviously the goal of the season. If the concept is the number of goals, Man City scored more than us but 18 teams scored fewer."
