Chelsea's Jose Mourinho backs Liverpool for title success

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes that Liverpool's lack of European commitments is an advantage for them in the Premier League title race.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has said that Liverpool can win the Premier League this season.

The Reds are currently seven points behind the Portuguese's side in second place and have a game in hand.

"When we speak about the Champions League and the title race, we have to speak about Liverpool," The Mirror quotes the 51-year-old as saying.

"Because Liverpool, since the beginning of the season, have one match every week.

"They rest, they prepare, they recover, they prepare, they play, they have a day off. This is a big, big, big advantage."

Arsenal are currently third, while Manchester City, who have played three fewer matches than Chelsea, are nine points off the pace in fourth.
