Mourinho is now tired of his little horse metaphor coined after Monday's win at Manchester City, but he maintains Chelsea are still third favourites behind Arsenal and City despite taking advantage of their rivals' slips on Saturday.
Jose Mourinho: "It's time to kill the horses.
"We are playing well. People individually are in a good moment, the team is getting results and we are top of the league.
"That is something that we can't hide, but I say the same and I feel the same. I don't change.
"Chelsea title favourites, but I don't bet.
"A big result is always surprising.
"When two big teams are playing against each other, you are never expecting such a big result, but sometimes it happens.
"Norwich is not easy. We beat them there in the last minutes.
"These are the results that can happen to any one of us. But when it happens to City it's more surprising, because City are City, their attacking power is fantastic, so when they get this kind of result, it's a bit surprising.
"My team here was an amazing team, it was a team that lasted for almost a decade and won lots of trophies for the club.
"These people here are just starting and I don't want to compare.
"Potentially this team is good and hopefully we will have a good decade because only John (Terry) and Frank (Lampard) and a couple more are over 30, after that they are young guys with lots of years to play.
"Hazard played well but the only difference was that he scored a hat-trick for the first time.
"But it was a very similar performance to the one he had at Hull, at City, at home against (Manchester) United, against Liverpool, at Southampton.
"He's playing basically the same way. In my opinion he's playing really well. Big evolution, consistency, ambition. Fantastic.
"John Terry is not an injury, it's almost an injury.
"We decided not to risk and to protect him. Normally he's ready for Tuesday."
