LONDON (Reuters) - Victory over Manchester United on Sunday would notch 100 Premier League wins for Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho but he refuses to be fooled into thinking the ailing champions will give him an easy ride to another milestone.

United's teething problems under new manager David Moyes have left them way off the pace, 11 points behind leaders Arsenal and nine behind third-placed Chelsea, and defeat at Stamford Bridge would effectively end their hopes of staying in touch with the main title protagonists.
