TEMPO.CO, London - Stoke City’s Manager, Mark Hughes, is determined to end Chelsea’s 76 unbeaten home records in the England Premiere League match tonight. Chelsea had been defeated two three times during their last five matches.
"We have to be mindful of a backlash, but we are in a good place at the moment, and if there is ever a good time to go to a place like Stamford Bridge then that is when you are in better form than Chelsea, which we possibly are at the moment," Hughes told the club's website, reported by Reuters.
"It is an incredible record that they have at Stamford Bridge but this is an opportunity for our lads to go down there and make a bit of history."
Under the first term of Jose Mourinho’s leadership during 2004 -2007, Chelsea had not lost a single match at their home turf. The record continued when Mourinho was back to engineer The Blues last summer. Chelsea had recorded 60 wins and 16 draws in total.
