Chelsea play host to Hull City at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Blues have won an impressive 12 of the 15 meetings between the two sides, drawing the other 3.
The last time the two teams met at Chelsea was just over four years ago, in August 2009, the Blues carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Premier League match.
The return of Mourinho to English football has created quite a buzz - and not just around Stamford Bridge.
He has wasted little time in reshaping a squad inherited from interim coach Rafa Benitez and will want to ensure that the struggles of recent years - which have left Chelsea sweating on their involvement in the UEFA Champions League - are put firmly to one side.
While nothing less than a charge towards the top flight crown will be accepted by the Blues, Hull City would be happy to end the campaign with a standing among English football's elite safely cemented.
The Tigers lasted two seasons the last time they graced this level, but will need no reminding how difficult it can be for sides stepping out of the Championship to find their feet at the top table.
Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard continued his return from an Achilles injury with a substitute run-out for England in their 3-2 friendly victory over Scotland on Wednesday and could come into consideration for a starting berth.
David Luiz and Juan Mata have been nursing knocks through pre-season, restricting their involvement, and Mourinho has regularly expressed that he will not be rushing either back into action.
Summer signings Marco van Ginkel and Andre Schurrle will be hoping to make their Premier League bows at some stage, but veteran goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer will have to make do with a place on the bench as he looks to challenge Petr Cech for the number one spot.
New signings Schurrle and van Ginkel and returning loan stars Lukaku and De Bruyne only increase the attacking threat of a team that scored a club record 147 goals last season. Torres, Ba, Lampard, Mata, Moses - maybe Rooney to come? Breaking 147 may be possible after all.
For Hull it's an exciting start to their second top-flight adventure, but not a game Steve Bruce will be just glad to get out of the way. After all, he led Sunderland to a 3-0 win the last time he visited the Bridge as a boss.
Without necessarily 'parking the bus', it'll be a side that doesn't take too many risks in game one - with the top level nous of Tom Huddlestone in front of the defence an important addition this week.
