They can really put the pressure on Manchester City

Chelsea have their so called winnable game a full day before Manchester City have to play United in the Manchester derby.

That means Mourinho and his men can widen the gap to nine points, albeit temporarily, and really put the pressure on a struggling City side.

Chelsea have the cushion so really only need to focus on themselves, but at the end of the day, Mourinho would always take a bigger and softer cushion if it was on offer.
