The Inter Milan boss, who made a shock departure from Stamford Bridge last September, believes the usual teams will be jostling at the top of the Premier League - although he has tipped Tottenham to launch a challenge under Juande Ramos.

Mourinho, speaking on behalf of Ford's Feel Football debate website www.feelfootball.com, said: "I would put Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool as favourites again to win the Premier League - but regarding Arsenal, they also have a great team, but I'm not sure if the group have enough experience and quality to win."

The Portuguese also believes new Chelsea manager Luiz Felipe Scolari has inherited a club fully-equipped to win the title in his first season in charge.

He continued: "Phil Scolari has not made a lot of changes since he arrived at the club. He has kept the same structure, the same system and the same football. He is a good leader, and he can do very well.

"The only insight or advice I would give him ahead of his first season is that he is in a club that is ready to win."
