Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti says beating Manchester United at Stamford Bridge will not be easy
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has said that a victory over Manchester United would be one daunting task to achieve. Ancelotti said a victory over the Red Devils would do a world of good to his side for remaining matches.
The Blues’ boss has also admitted that his team were no longer contenders to win this season’s English Premier League (EPL) title as the difference of 15 points between them and the toppers, Manchester United, makes it difficult for them to catch up in time.
Both the teams will face each other in a promising match at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, where Sir Alex Ferguson’s team will try to end their losing streak at the venue. Manchester United went unsuccessful in their last eight league attempts to beat Chelsea
at their home, Stamford Bridge.
Talking about the clash with ManU, Ancelotti said, “It’s a very important game for them, for us, a very important game for the future of Manchester United, for the future of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and we are excited to play this game.”
Critics are giving a lot of importance to this match as the Blues will enter the ground with the aim of denting Sir Alex Ferguson’s dream of lifting this season’s EPL title. Manchester United boss, Ferguson, would love to end this season on a winning note
as the season may bring an end to his 24-year stay at Old Trafford. The Red Devils are leading the EPL table with 60 points, but still have to play 12 more matches in this season.
Manchester United will also have great confidence after their emphatic 4-0 victory over Wigan Athletic last week.

Chelsea, who had been going winless for last three EPL matches, got a convincing 2-0 victory over FC Copenhagen in a UEFA Champions League match last week. They will also seek to reach the top four teams of the league table by replacing Tottenham Hotspurs
as the fourth position holders.
The former Juventus and Inter Milan boss further said, “We are excited to play this game. We arrive at it at a good moment. We have confidence to do our best and win it. It won't be easy. United have been, until now, the best team in the Premier League.”
The former Italian player, Ancelotti, has opted to go with the misfiring Torres and Anelka in the opening eleven with Drogba sitting on the sidelines in recent matches. The Italian is of the stance that Torres will come good in the upcoming match. He has
also complemented the skills and talent of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044, but said it would be difficult for him to find the space in the home match that is his core skill.
