Jose Mourinho today held his weekly press conference to preview tomorrow's game against Crystal Palace. Here's the best of what he had to say.

Crystal Palace better than last season

“Palace are always a difficult opponents. They have better players than last season and are a better team than last season. Last season they were good, this season they are better. They have nothing to lose. Are they coming to win the game or to be defensive? Maybe they do what they did last year and come without a striker.” - Mourinho on Chelsea's opponents

Pedro settles in quickly

“Even when they are top players like Pedro, you have always a little question mark because everything changes in their lives. You never know how quick the adaptation is going to be. When a player comes and shows no problem, and is ready to perform and improve the team straight away, it's good for him and better for us.”- Mourinho on his latest signing

Chelsea's 100th home game under Mourinho (and just one defeat)

“I am proud of the record, but I font think has an influence. It's 99 matches in the most competitive league in the world. On that day (Chelsea's only home defeat under Mourinho) we didn't lose against Sunderland, we lose against other things. Tomorrow, if we win the 100 game, I'm happy. If we don't, the other 99 are not important.” - Mourinho on a personal landmark

Don't read too much into Man City's good start

“Man City are a very good team, but there are others. They have started very well.. Last season, Chelsea started the same or better, and we arrived in January with the same points as other teams. When the start is good, it's good, but it doesn't mean you are going all the way.” - Mourinho on the Premier League leaders

Crisis? What crisis?

“Four points is not what we wanted, but four points is not a drama. This is the Premier League. When you are five points behind the leader in another league, that can be complicated. In the Premier League, it's not.” - Mourinho on Chelsea's slow start
