Sleep-deprived Ancelotti tells players to wake up

CARLO ANCELOTTI isn’t sleeping and it’s not difficult to understand why.

Chelsea’s disastrous dip in form has seen them go from hot title favourites to only one league victory in six games, third place in the table and awaiting matches against Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal with trepidation.

Those are the next three fixtures facing the champions and it doesn’t take a genius to work out the title could be won or lost for Ancelotti’s side long before the New Year is in.
