Sir Alex Ferguson has called on his Manchester United players to wreck Chelsea's unbeaten home record after his side's 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers.

Carlos Tevez snatched a late equaliser for United at Ewood Park to send the Premier League leaders into next weekend's showdown at Stamford Bridge three points clear of their title rivals.

Chelsea have not suffered a home defeat in the league in over four years, but Ferguson hopes that will change in a week's time.

"We have got to think about winning at Chelsea," said Ferguson.

"I know they haven't lost there for about 100 games, but it could be like that. Records are there to be broken."

Never gave in

United were far from their fluent best against Blackburn, but Ferguson is hoping it will turn out to be a crucial point in the quest for back-to-back titles.

He added: "Hopefully it will be a big, big point - Tevez was fantastic.

"That's five this season, if you include equalising goals and late goals that have got us points and it's another one today.

"We never gave in and deserved to win the game really."

Ferguson also appeared disappointed by the treatment dished out to Cristiano Ronaldo, while United were denied a penalty when Michael Carrick's header struck Brett Emerton's arm.

"He's had some bad decisions against him in the last few weeks and we just have to get on with it," said the United boss.

"The important thing is that we don't let that affect us because if you do, you get a chip on the shoulder and you start worrying about it.

"The players are bigger than that. Hopefully we don't get any decisions like that against us at Chelsea next week, that would be important."
