Ancelotti: Title hopes rest on beating United

CHELSEA manager Carlo Ancelotti believes his side need to beat leaders Manchester United in March to stand any chance of retaining their championship after dropping yet more points in the title race yesterday.

Ciaran Clark’s late, late equaliser for Villa in a 3-3 draw stunned Stamford Bridge into silence and leaves Chelsea in fifth place in the Premier League — out of the Champions League places — after only one victory in their last eight league matches.

But Ancelotti, who takes his side to Wolves on Wednesday sitting six points behind United — who also have a game in hand with the potential to go nine points clear — is adamant all is not yet lost.
