Wenger's ninth chance to finally beat Mourinho goes begging, how have other managers fared against the Chelsea boss? Never mind Arsene – perhaps it will be tenth time lucky when Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea visit the Emirates Stadium on December 23. Arsenal’s 2-0 Capital One Cup defeat by Chelsea on Tuesday night was the ninth time Wenger has pitted his wits against Mourinho and failed to come out on top. His record against the Portuguese remains dismal: five losses and four draws. When it comes to Mourinho, Wenger very much remains the ‘voyeur’, the man looking on at his rival’s success.

But it did, however, reinforce one manager’s dominance over the other. It is nine meetings now, and Wenger has yet to sip that post-match glass of red wine and savour victory over Mourinho. Their relationship may have thawed from the ice-cold tension of 2005, when Wenger came close to starting legal action against Mourinho after the Chelsea boss labelled him a ‘voyeur’ with a ‘big telescope’, but their head-to-head record still makes unhappy viewing for the Frenchman. That, both psychologically and in the way both men set up their teams, could be crucial in a season in which the two London clubs currently occupy first and second place in the Premier League. This is a managerial rivalry that once got very personal, but Wenger’s record against Mourinho looks substantially better when compared with other current Premier League managers. No current top flight boss who has come up against Mourinho-managed sides more than twice has a head-to-head record in his favour. The Chelsea manager comes out on top against them all. Everton boss Roberto Martinez is the only manager to have played Mourinho's men and come out on top - thanks to his side's 1-0 win over Chelsea in August. Manchester United boss David Moyes has also never beaten Mourinho in nine attempts, suffering five defeats along the way, although his Manchester City counterpart, Manuel Pelligrini, has a slightly better record, winning two and drawing one of his eight matches against Mourinho. Still not favourable enough to warrant a post-match handshake, mind you, as we saw at Stamford Bridge last Sunday after City’s 2-1 Premier League loss. Fulham manager Martin Jol has been on the losing side eight times out of 10, while Newcastle United’s Alan Pardew and Southampton boss Mauricio Pochettino have each lost all four of their matches against sides managed by Mourinho. When those sides happened to be Real Madrid and Chelsea, of course, this is perhaps no great shame. Yet you have to look outside the Premier League, or into the realms of retirement and book publicity, to find managers who have fared better against ‘The Special One’.
