Chelsea football team manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that his team is not invincible and they would be beaten between now and May, despite winning seven of their eight opening matches.
Mourinho's pessimism is reportedly understandable given it is a decade since a team went through an entire Premier League campaign undefeated.
However, few sides seem as capable of matching Arsenal's feat of 2003-04 as the current leaders, who following their triumph over Crystal Palace have won seven of their opening eight matches and drawn the most difficult fixture they would face all season; a visit to the champions, Manchester City, The Guardian reported.
Chelsea has the talent, desire and strength in numbers to become the Invincibles II, traits that were all on show during Saturday's triumph.
Crucially they also have the manager, with Mourinho coming as close as anyone to matching Arsenal when he led Chelsea to the title in the 2004-05 season, his first in charge at Stamford Bridge, with just one league loss.
Yet Mourinho is ruling out Chelsea's chances of making history. He said that his team could not remain undefeated this season.
