The stats paint a very clear and simple picture: Mourinho just does not lose against Arsene Wenger. This season of the Premier League promises to be an exciting one with Jose Mourinho, Antonio Conte, Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola and Arsene Wenger set to go head to head.

The new Manchester United manager will be relishing another opportunity to face Arsene Wenger. The pair of them have faced each other 13 times in competitive fixtures since the ‘special one’ took over at Chelsea and Mourinho has not lost a single match against Wenger.

There is no love lost between the two and although Wenger did manage to get the better of Mourinho in the Community Shield, his Arsenal side slumped to a defeat to a struggling Chelsea last season. Whatever the circumstances, Mourinho always seems to get the better of Wenger in competitive matches.
