Ancelotti: We will not defend the English champions title © EuroFootball.com

London strategist Carlo Ancelotti stated that his players no longer have a chance to defend the title of English champions.

The capital club has already lost seven times this season and is 10 points behind the leader "Man Utd." There are 13 matches left until the end of the championship.

"It is difficult to think that we can still fight for the title," said the Italian. "Let's speak openly - the difference is very big. The most important thing is not to fall below fourth place and to secure a spot in the Champions League. That is the minimum goal."

On Monday, "Chelsea" will meet another London team, "Fulham."
