"The first reason is, with Liverpool and Manchester City's victories, if we don't win today, goodbye Premier League (top four)".
The former Juventus coach said he was not anxious about the pressure mounting over the final six games, however.
Antonio Conte says Chelsea have a 50 per cent chance of winning the title after losing to Manchester United. This loss came 15 days after a 2-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace, while Spurs have won seven straight league games, scoring 22 goals in the process.
The fixture lived up to the pre-match hype as Marcus Rashford and Ander Herrera secured a 2-0 win which gave Mourinho revenge for this season's defeats at Stamford Bridge.
One of the big discussion points of the game was whether Rahsford's rampant running to go with his goal, and how it made United so much livelier, should justify getting into the team ahead of the rested Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Mourinho indicated that he still expects Chelsea to win the league.

Tottenham Hotspur now trail Chelsea by just four points in the Premier League, with just six games to play, and Neville has criticised the 2012 Champions League winners for not replacing Alonso in the line-up.
Nigerian worldwide, Victor Moses, lasted for 54 minutes on the pitch before he was replaced by Cesc Fabregas; but neither of the two players could influence the game in favour of Chelsea. We've got to appreciate his game, because, I truly believe this, it's more likely that we'll see another player like Messi before we see another player with such abnormal footballing qualities like Fellaini.
"We must have great enthusiasm to play these last six games, with patience and a great will to fight". "I must have confidence, in myself, in the players, in the club, because it is not the first time we have faced this kind of situation", the Italian added. The entertaining clash between the two English teams generated the best performance by the Red Devils in a long time. "It is important to understand which was wrong today and then to restart together but - I repeat - for the performance today the fault is mine".
The midfielder also helped keep Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard quiet throughout the game, which helped United maintain their two-goal lead.
