his expensively assembled squad, and believes he can bring the title to Stamford Bridge.
"I believe 100 percent that we can win the title, but I am not so stupid to say that I can guarantee that we will win it," said Mourinho.
"Then again, I want to win everything and maximise what Chelsea can achieve.
"I believe we have to go for every trophy. I am always confident and I always trust my players and team.
"I am nervous, but I never sit back and think that I have done everything.
"If we win this game against United, we are not champions - and if we lose, we are not out of the championship either."
Chelsea take on Manchester United in a mouth-watering opening day clash, giving Mourinho a baptism of fire in England.
United have a number of injury concerns, but Mourinho has no sympathy for Sir Alex Ferguson and says that The Red Devils a more than capable of coping.
"Do not tell me that they have nine key players missing. They have some injured players, that is it," says Mourinho.
"The difference between the top teams and other sides is that the top teams have great squads.
"If Harry Redknapp had five players out at Portsmouth, then that may be a problem, but that cannot be said of Manchester United.
"It is not a big problem for them."
