Just how good is Chelsea under Jose Mourinho?

Remarkably, he has lost only 16 EPL games out of those 165 during both his spells in charge of the Blues, accumulating a total of 381 points in the process.

The next best is Manchester United with 335 (Sir Alex Ferguson was largely responsible for that), followed by Arsenal with 320.
