Jose Mourinho claims Manchester City and Liverpool have an advantage over Chelsea in the title race, and says Arsenal can still win the Premier League.

"We play in the Champions League - they don't," adds the Chelsea manager. "We have to play matches with two and three days between. We have to change our focus from Premier League to Champions League and go back to Premier League.

"Liverpool keep going in their perfect season. We have to play Champions League. We have no time to prepare for matches like they have. I think it's a big advantage they have. It is still still open for Arsenal. It is more difficult because they are a few points behind the other teams, but it is still mathematically possible."

England are fined for maintaining a slow over-rate during their World Twenty20 win over Sri Lanka on Thursday. David Boon, from the elite panel of referees, adjudged Stuart Broad's side were two overs short of their target when time allowances were taken into consideration.

Broad is fined 40% of his match fee, while his players receive a 20% fine. If Broad is found guilty of one more minor over-rate offence in T20 internationals over the next 12 months, he will receive a one-match suspension

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says his side's position at the top of the Premier League is a "fake situation" because they have played two more games than title rivals Manchester City.

"The team has been playing well for a long time but the situation is fake," adds Mourinho at his pre-match news conference ahead of Saturday's match at Crystal Palace. "It only matters when we have all had the same number of matches."

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew says his return to the dressing room can revive the Magpies' faltering season. Pardew has been banned from attending Newcastle's last three matches after headbutting Hull's David Meyler during his team's 4-1 win on 1 March.

"If you take a personality out of the dressing room when you have a small team it's going to have an effect," Pardew tells BBC Radio Newcastle. "I'm looking forward to having some impact in there."

Newcastle, under assistant coach John Carver, have lost two of the three games Pardew has missed - at Fulham and, last Tuesday, at home to Everton. They are eighth in the Premier League table.

I picked Chelsea in my pre-season predictions so there can be no going back now, although Manchester City and Liverpool are a serious threat. Chelsea have a habit, especially under Jose Mourinho, of getting the job done even when not playing at their best. The danger for them is if they have one of those days, such as at Aston Villa or at home to West Ham United, when their finishing touch deserts them.

Vice-chairman of the Manchester United Supporters' Trust Ian Stirling says plans by fans to hire a plane with a banner demanding David Moyes is sacked is wrong.

"I can understand their feelings, but it is not the way I would do it," Stirling tells BBC Radio 5 live. "This is part of a bigger story about the appointment of David Moyes. He was the 'chosen one' and we had Sir Alex Ferguson on the pitch at Old Trafford telling the fans to get behind him.

"The 'Chosen One' banner should not have stayed longer than the Chelsea game at the start of the season. We now have a ridiculous situation where stewards are guarding it."

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says fuel monitors currently used in the sport are not fit for purpose. The team's driver - Daniel Ricciardo - was disqualified from the season's opening Grand Prix in Australia for using too much fuel and Horner is "entirely confident" an appeal lodged by Red Bull against the decision will be successful.

"We need to work with the FIA to find a better solution because there is too much hanging on it," says Horner. "For a sensor to drift, move around or fail, is not good enough at this level of motorsport."The FIA maintain the current equipment is fine.

Former Liverpool defender and Match of the Day pundit Mark Lawrenson: "Manchester City have got the best squad. When you have top players and they can see another trophy within sight, it focuses them.

"World-class players are the difference in the last few games. It's only injury to key personnel that will stop them. When was I convinced they could win the title? 19 August, when they beat Newcastle 4-0 on the opening day."
