Carlo Ancelotti has backed Jose Mourinho, to sort out the mess at Chelsea and tipped Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season.
Ancelotti’s former club were beaten 2-1 by West Ham on Saturday – their fifth defeat in the first 10 games – and are currently 15th on the log.
The defending champions have won only three times and look to be out of contention already.
“I didn’t expect this crisis, but I do understand the reasons behind these problems. I think they are feeling sated,” He told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“Last year they won by a mile, now they are more relaxed. Don’t worry, Mourinho will sort it out. He is the right man.”
Speaking about other title contenders, Ancelotti added: “Manchester City are the most complete squad in the Premier League, but every now and then they go off piste. They are not 100 per cent reliable.
“I’d watch out for Arsenal. Arsene Wenger did well to change their system, so he waits and counters to get the best out of the pace of Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez.”
