Roberto Mancini, Manchester City manager, believes that Chelsea cannot be ruled out of the Premier League title race – despite their past.

The City are seven points above Carlo Ancelotti’s team and Mancini believes that the champions could still be in contention for the title. “Chelsea could come back again,” he stated. Mancini has always been keen to praise Chelsea, talking them up during the first half of the season as favorites. But their recent dip has seen the two Manchester sides pull away at the top of the Premier League.

Ancelotti’s team are seven points adrift of Manchester United and Manchester City – having played one more game than United and one less than City.
