At the beginning of the 2015-16 season, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger ended a horrible streak that had long been haunting his otherwise successful career: his winless run against Jose Mourinho.
Never had the Frenchman beaten the Portuguese boss during his two successful spells with Chelsea, but that came to an end when Le Prof came out victorious 1-0 in the 2015 Community Shield clash with the Blues.
However, the fact still remains that although Wenger achieved one win over The Special One, he has never triumphed over the 52-year-old in the English Premier League, with his tally against Jose standing at 5 losses and 6 draws in 11 meetings.
Sunday’s London derby will see the Gunners lock horns with a Mourinho-less Chelsea, and Le Prof’s track record against the Stamford Bridge side without the Portuguese boss is quite impressive.
As pointed out by Jeremy Wilson of The Telegraph, Wenger has faced 10 other Chelsea managers in 27 encounters up until this day.
In those 27 encounters, Arsene won over 51% of those fixtures, beating the Blues on 14 occasions, losing 7 times and drawing 6 matches.
Wenger in PL v Mourinho: Won 0 lost 5 drawn 6. Wenger v other 10 Chelsea managers he's faced: Won 14 lost 7 draws 6.

The two teams will face-off this weekend with the Gunners boasting a 19-point lead over their opponents.
However, there will be no room for complacency for the league leaders, as Leicester are breathing down the Gunners’ necks in the title race, level on points but trailing by an inferior goal difference.
