Jose Mourinho conceded Chelsea had `almost' lost the their grip on the Barclays Premiership title after failing to beat Bolton at Stamford Bridge. United are now five points clear at the top after fighting back from two goals down to beat Everton 4-2 at Goodison Park and with just three games to play, Sir Alex Ferguson's side are favourites to land the crown. Mourinho declared: 'I feel sad but I have a big game on Tuesday night and that's a good thing in this situation. We have no time to be sad. 'But it is almost lost, almost. In football, almost is always a big question mark. It is not over because mathematically there is a chance and when the chance is there, we have to believe and chase the opportunity you have.
'At this moment we have to win and we have to wait. It is much more difficult. Manchester United, in this moment, feel very, very close. They have to lose two games and we have to win all three. 'They don't feel pressure and feel quite confident. They can come to Stamford Bridge, lose and still be champions. 'They are very, very close to it.
