Manuel Pellegrini: "I answered just once to Mourinho because if you remain in silence always, people may agree with those things.
"He started talking about referees and Financial Fair Play, I don't think it is the way to go about things.
"I will not continue every week talking about things that for me are not important.
"These are not mind games because I don't think managers can be affected by those kind of things, but I will not answer any more on Mourinho.
"It is normal that all teams will drop points but don't forget from the last 10 games we have taken 25 points from a possible 30.
"Maybe we lost the game against Chelsea and have drawn against Norwich but all the teams in the bottom half of the table will take points off other teams in the second half of the season and for me this situation is normal.
"The same teams who were favourites three weeks ago, remain the favourites. It is a very close Premier League and I think Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham will all be in a fight until the end."
