"There are two big horses and one small one. This small one could compete next season," said Jose Mourinho. London's Chelsea manager managed to outsmart Engineer Manuel Pellegrini yesterday evening. In a battle of English Premier League giants, Chelsea defeated Manchester City 1:0 and remains in the fight for the title. However, J. Mourinho calms down the fans and insists that the opponents hold the best cards. "We can win if they lose. Arsenal has been working for many years to evolve their team. What we are doing this season is the same as what Arsenal did for many years," J. Mourinho told Sky Sports. "We are in the fight, but we are certainly not favorites. We are preparing the team to be one of the favorites next season." Chelsea's victory was secured by Branislav Ivanovic. In the 32nd minute, after a mix-up near the Manchester City goal, he scored accurately. Now Chelsea sits in third place with 53 points. The same number of points is held by Manchester City, while at the top is London's Arsenal club with 55 points. "We played fantastically. Our opponents are the best team in the Premier League, and we beat them twice. It's fantastic," said J. Mourinho. "We had better chances. When the opponents were controlling the ball, we were focused and ready to defend firmly, and when we had the ball, we played very well."
