Chelsea v Crystal Palace (15:00 BST)
Ninety-nine games, 76 wins, one defeat, 250 points. I've said it already, but that really is a great record.
Jose Mourinho takes charge of his 100th home fixture as a Premier League manager today, with visitors Crystal Palace facing perhaps the most difficult away trip in world football.
In two spells as Chelsea boss, Mourinho has lost just once in the league at Stamford Bridge - a shock 2-1 loss to Sunderland in April 2014.
His record is the best of any manager in the Premier League era.

Rubbish small talk with footballers
Image source, Getty ImagesI'll weigh in with my offering. Many years ago, when I was working in well-known flat pack furniture store, I was approached by former Sunderland and Blackburn striker Jon Stead, who asked me where he could find the coffee tables.
Now I am a Huddersfield Town fan. This was when he had just come through the youth team at the Terriers and was banging in goals for fun. After pointing him in the right direction, I, rather awkwardly, piped up with: "Nice one for playing for Huddersfield."
He responded with a nervous 'cheers' before swiftly shuffling off.
Still cringe to this day.

Fulham season ticket holders might have some tales of small talk, after their club's players got on the phone this week.
Just what do you say when you find yourself unexpectedly in conversation with one of your favourite players? Er, um...

Our topic this week? Numbingly poor small talk you've engaged in with players.
Did you once discuss the price of petrol with John Terry at the garage? Did you chat about recycling with Harry Kane while putting the bins out? The more boring your story, the more we want to hear it.

"Start not normal"published at 09:08
Image source, APNot even the humble microphone has been safe from a Jose Mourinho rant this season.
Chelsea have hardly set the world alight in the start to their title defence having picked up four points and had two players - goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and defender John Terry - sent off in their first three games.
"I think the most important thing of this start to the season is that it's not normal that in three matches you have two penalties against your team and play with 10 men twice," he said.
"This is the Premier League so, when you are five points behind the leader in another league that can be a complication. In the Premier League, it is not complicated."

That's what Jose Mourinho said after overseeing his very first win as Chelsea boss at Stamford Bridge back on 15 August 2004, Eidur Gudjohnsen's goal seeing off Manchester United. Pleasant and humble.
Contrast that to what we've seen so far this season - angry condemnation of the actions of his medical staff and dismissing Manchester City's 3-0 win over Chelsea as a "fake result", it is fair to say that Mourinho has been a tad cranky.
You'd think a win against West Brom last time out would lighten his mood. Well, think again...
Mourinho's milestonepublished at 09:00
It began with a 1-0 win over Manchester United in 2004...

Image source, Getty Images...Jose Mourinho's home record as Chelsea boss is, quite frankly, brilliant.
After 76 wins, 22 draws and just one defeat, he takes charge of his 100th home game at Stamford Bridge, but, after a somewhat shaky and controversial start to the season, Mourinho is perhaps hardly in the mood to celebrate the landmark just yet...
