Man Utd fullback Rafael insists Chelsea can be beaten

Manchester United fullback Rafael insists Chelsea can be beaten.

A test against the unbeaten league leaders is something Rafael says everyone is looking forward to and he insists anything could happen on the day.

"Everyone is beatable. We have to do our best, of course. They are playing well. We're playing at Old Trafford though and we've been getting results there so they are definitely beatable," he told ManUtd.com.

On making Old Trafford a fortress again, the Brazilian added: "I think so - I feel that, we've been getting results here and have played some good football.

"Football is about results and, when you don't play well and draw, like on Monday night, of course everyone will speak. But hopefully we can play well against Chelsea and, if we get the result, it would be very positive for us and the whole team.

"I've been involved in a lot of these [big] games. I love to play these games. They always have a great atmosphere. I'm sure Old Trafford will be very loud again. It will be hard because they are playing well. We just have to concentrate and do our best, and I hope we can get the result we want."
