With Chelsea six points from a first Premier League title since 2010, manager Jose Mourinho happily turned a deaf ear to suggestions his team is unloved by neutrals.

Chelsea dazzled during the season's first half, putting several teams to the sword but with the finishing line in sight it has tightened up in trademark Mourinho fashion.

After a run of seven wins by a one-goal margin, it was taunted with chants of 'Boring, boring Chelsea!' during Sunday's 0-0 draw at Arsenal but Mourinho said he did not care about the perception of his side.
