No worries for Ancelotti

(17-10-2010) Carlo Ancelotti was unconcerned as Chelsea dropped two points on Saturday. The EPL leaders were held to a goalless draw by Aston Villa but remain five points clear at the top of the table. Manchester City can however reduce their lead to just two points if they beat Blackpool on Sunday. "I am not disappointed about failing to go seven points clear. We knew this would be a difficult game,” said the Italian after the game at Villa Park. "Last year we lost here. This is a good result at this stage of the season, and to be five points clear is good.” With Didier Drogba out through injury, Nicolas Anelka was tasked with providing the firepower up front. But the French striker failed to hit the back of the net, missing a golden chance in the last minute.
