Premier League: Jose Mourinho takes dig at Manchester City for extra day, claims schedule gives table toppers unfair advantage
"I'm not just saying about the privileged teams with six days to recover and to enjoy and to prepare for the next one, but also the ones with a little bit more (time) than us," said Mourinho.

The problem that I see here is the difference between some teams.""But what I call the December injuries in English football are arriving. Some players are leaving the pitch after 15-20 minutes, some others don't resist for the 90.""Of course it depends on many factors, but we open the door for what I call the December injuries."Mourinho also admitted that Christmas had been a tough time for him as it was the first one since the death of his father, former Portugal goalkeeper Jose Manuel Mourinho Felix, in June."It's the first Christmas without my father and I think that's the most difficult one," he said.
