Ancelotti: title chase is not a two-horse race

CARLO ANCELOTTI is convinced he can still mastermind a Premier League title – but has admitted it is more than simply a straight scrap between him and Alex Ferguson.

Ancelotti could not hide his disappointment at St. Andrew’s after recording only one win in seven games which has allowed Manchester United to gain ground on their lead at the top.

The Italian will now face his biggest test yet when talismanic forward Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou head to the African Cup of Nations with the Ivory Coast next month.
