Fergie aiming to breach Chelsea fortress

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson believes ending Chelsea's long unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge will virtually guarantee his side the Barclays Premier League title.

Ferguson's side travel to Chelsea on Saturday looking to end the host's incredible unbeaten run at the Bridge, which stretches back to February 2004.

"We have got to think about winning at Chelsea. I know they haven't lost there for about 100 games, but it could be like that. Records are there to be broken," he said

Blackburn manager Mark Hughes, who has played for both United and Chelsea, refused to be drawn on which side had the upper hand.

"Chelsea need to beat United next week. That is the key game. United have to lose more points and they have dropped a couple against us," he said.

"Who is to say they won't drop points from this time on? Chelsea now have a chance to put pressure on United and we will have to wait and see what happens."
