Felipe Scolari has been talking records ahead of this weekend's Barclays Premier League match - one record on-going and one record available come the season's end.

Sunday against Liverpool is another chance to extend the famous home league undefeated run, currently standing at 86 games. And with Chelsea and Liverpool so far unbeaten this season, the possibility of maintaining that through a whole league campaign has been raised by the media, even at this ridiculously early stage.

No Chelsea side has ever achieved that feat, although the 2004/5 vintage went close, losing just one Premiership match. Arsenal's 'Invincibles' managed it a year earlier, the first side to do so since Preston in 1888/89.

'It is not a special target but I think it is possible,' Scolari said on the challenge.

'I know what I need to expect some time. We are not invincible but you need to fight not to lose.

'This is what I want from my players and they give this to me every game. They don't accept defeat and this is why I think it could be a very good game on Sunday - because Liverpool don't accept and Chelsea don't accept.'

It is occasionally suggested that fear of losing the four-and-a-half year home record could be a burden, with the team opting to hold a draw rather than push for a win and risk losing.

It's an idea Scolari dismisses.

'I don't hear the players mention this situation. I don't hear them say let's not lose because we need to add one more game towards the record. It is normal we think to win but one time maybe we lose the game but not thinking about the record, thinking about the competition and points.'

Not losing is a by-product of a huge desire to win games and Scolari believes another factor in the home form is the positive attitude of the Stamford Bridge support.

'Chelsea fans help the Chelsea team,' he praises. 'I have been here three-and-a-half months and I never heard any situation where the Chelsea fans say something bad about our players.

'They try to help my team and I want to say thank you many times for this becausesometimes we don't play very well and they try to push us to play better. There are no bad words. I like this style in England.'
