Carlo Ancelotti has written off his side's chances of retaining the League title.

Chelsea manager Carlo
Ancelotti has written off
his side's chances of
retaining the Premier
League title.
The Blues are 10 points
behind leaders Manchester
United with 13 games left and
have lost seven times this
season.
But Ancelotti's side, who lost
to Liverpool last weekend,
are still to face United home
and away this season.
"Now for us it is difficult to
think that we can come back
and fight for the Premier
League title," said Ancelotti,
whose side take on Fulham
on Monday.
Instead, Ancelotti believes
that sealing a top-four finish
to secure Champions League
football next season might
be a more realistic target for
the west London side.
"The gap is very big, we
have to be honest," admitted
Ancelotti.
"The most important thing is
to reach fourth place in the
table to maintain Chelsea in
the Champions League and
we have to fight with the
other teams.
"It is better for us to take it
game by game in the Premier
League but we have to reach
fourth place as a minimum."
Ancelotti was speaking at a
press conference to unveil
new signing David Luiz but
the assembled media quizzed
the Italian about Fernando
Torres.
Torres, who was also signed
by Ancelotti in January, made
an inauspicious debut
against former club Liverpool
last weekend but despite
hauling off his new £50m
signing after 65 minutes, the
Chelsea boss is determined
to prove the Spaniard can
form a successful
partnership with fellow
striker Didier Drogba.
"My aim as a coach is to try
and find the best solution
with the players I have,"
said the Italian.
"In this squad Drogba and
Torres are fantastic strikers
and we have to try and do
everything to get them to
play together.
