Chelsea out to rewrite the record books in pursuit of Premier League title | Jonathan Wilson Such has been the start made by José Mourinho’s side they could even rack up 101 points this season • Chelsea are perfect, says Mourinho Already this season feels as though it is less about the pursuit of the title for Chelsea as the pursuit of records. They are six points clear at the top of the Premier League having dropped four points from 12 games and, with all due respect to Southampton, they are eight points clear of their nearest realistic title rivals. Even more worryingly for the pack, they have already played away at Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton. There may be 26 hurdles still between them and the finish line but the sense is that the most testing ones have been cleared. An unbeaten season – which would be just the third in English league history – is certainly possible, although there is always an element of luck in such things, in avoiding those games that happen to all sides, however good, when they pepper the opposition goal, fail to score, and concede on the counterattack.
