MANAGER Mark Hughes believes Rovers could well be the team to break Chelsea's 65-game unbeaten home record when the two teams meet at Stamford Bridge in Saturday's tea-time kick-off.

Jose Mourinho's side haven't lost at home in the Premier League since February 2004, however Rovers are currently on an impressive 14-game unbeaten streak themselves, dating back to last season's FA Cup semi-final defeat against Chelsea, and Hughes is confident of setting the record straight.

"The last time we were beaten was in the cup semi-final against Chelsea and obviously we are up against them again," said the Rovers boss.

"It is a big ask, because they've got a fantastic home record, but it is there to be broken.

"The way we are playing at the moment - with a lot of confidence, a lot of ability and a real threat at the opposition goal - I think if anybody can possibly test Chelsea it certainly could be us.

"We are going there in good heart and I think you have to be confident when you go to places like Chelsea and Manchester United etc. We've always tried to test ourselves against the best and that is what we'll try and do again.

"Prior to Jose Mourinho going to the club, Blackburn's record at Chelsea was very, very good, so we'd hopefully like to make inroads into their home league form. It is a fantastic record that they have, but it is there to be broken and why can't we be the team that does it?"
