Chelsea will set a record in the Premier League era if they avoid defeat against Sunderland on Sunday.

Jose Mourinho's side have lost just four times in all competitions, which is one less than the current best mark set by Manchester United's treble winning side of 1999.

He said: "If somebody gives me for 2015-16 season just four defeats, I will sign immediately. Four defeats is really good.

"I didn't know that we can set a record, maybe it helps me to motivate the troops. It's hard when you reach your objective, it is hard to keep them at this level, a competitive animal.

"They are a bit like predators. After they hunt, a predator relaxes a little bit. This is our last match at home, we want a positive result, it is a big day for us."
