Jose Mourinho got his hands back on the Premier League trophy in 2014/15 as Chelsea cruised to the title, but they face a difficult challenge to retain their crown this season.

With Manchester City and Arsenal primed to challenge the Blues, this year's race promises to be closer than last season's, and with Manchester United beginning to show signs of their former self, it could yet be a tricky season for John Terry's side.
