Chelsea can break Jose Mourinho’s record points tally from 2004-05 in Antonio Conte’s first season

Jose Mourinho responded to jeers from Chelsea fans during last month’s FA Cup quarter final by saying until a manager wins them four titles, ‘Judas is number one’.

Well, Antonio Conte could steal a march on Stamford Bridge’s former ‘Special One’ in his first season.

Chelsea are on course to win the Premier League title this season, holding a seven-point lead over second place Tottenham in the EPL table.

But should they claim victory in all of their seven remaining matches they will beat the record points haul set by Mourinho in his first season in west London.

Mourinho’s Chelsea won the 2004-05 title with a tally of 95 points – a Premier League record over a 38-game season.

Of their remaining fixtures, Chelsea only have to face sides which they have beaten already this season – starting with Mourinho's Manchester United next Sunday, who the defeated 4-0 at Stamford Bridge back in October.

Conte guided Chelsea to a run of 13 straight victories earlier in the season. Can they do it? Only time will tell.
