Ancelotti's Future Vs Torres' Role At Chelsea & The Blues' Chance To Embarrass Man United
What a season have Chelsea had this season. It has been rather poor but the fact that they are still basically in the title race does not signify that. They started the season with regular displays of 'PlayStation' football that caught the eyes of many. But that one night at the Stamford Bridge against Sunderland was the simple beginning of a very dark period for Carlo Ancelotti and his men. Perhaps even the sacking of Ray Wilkins prompted them too. Who knows?
But it was that one occasion where Steve Bruce's men left London beaming with pride having just delivered a knock-ouy blow to the defending Premier League champions. I mean, who would have expected it to be the beginning to a very poor period in the Blues' calendar. After all, Ancelotti was being hailed as the saviour after guiding them to an unprecedented double last season. But, months have passed since and god knows the amount of pressure that has been lying on Ancelotti's back, waiting to explode any minute.
Chelsea Vs Manchester United: 5 Players Who Could Make A Difference For The Blues
The titanic clash between Chelsea and Manchester United this Wednesday will definitely live up to its expectations like it has always done prior to this.

France’s Florent Malouda: Brazil Is A Country Where I Could End My Career
The Chelsea superstar was born in French Guiana, and has admitted that he was very close to the “country of football”. According to him, it was even his dream to play under the national Brazilian jersey, as a child."I feel Brazilian,” he was quoted saying by Le Parisien. "My wife is from Brazil, my children are half Brazilian, and my in-laws are Brazilian.
"And also, Guiana and Brazil are very similar. There’s a mix of cultures in Guiana, with a strong Brazilian community.
"When I was little, I dreamed of playing for (the) Brazil (national team) and for a Brazilian club. Having grown up in Guiana, France was far away, and so I thought I had more chance of success over there!"
Financially-Ill Chelsea To Axe Drogba, Malouda And Co This Summer
Billionaire Roman Abramovich played a dangerous game on the last day of the January transfer window. The Chelsea owner splashed £75M on the table to make last minute deals with Liverpool and Benfica for Fernando Torres and David Luiz respectively. Reports even claim that Chelsea had planned to hit the £100M transfer fee mark as they were looking forward to capture Anderlecht’s Romelu Lukaku for £25M.Ironically, a loss of £70M had been announced in the morning on January 31; so to hear the Blues spending so big in the evening sounded as a “illogical” and “insulting” to UEFA and to Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger who is known to be very cautious when it comes to financial matters. What are Chelsea’s plans, then, on the financial front?
Arsenal vs Chelsea: Top 5 Chelsea Players To Watch
Petr Cech
Yes, recently, Petr Cech has not been as powerful as he used to be in the past. Especially in Chelsea’s 3-0 defeat to Sunderland this season, his performance was absolutely below par. However, he is still the pit of Chelsea’s defensive structure, and incontrovertibly, he remains one of the best keepers in the EPL.
His reflex, punches, and catches—thanks to his height—have deeply troubled opposing forwards over the years, and every time the Londoners get into action, it is unlikely that the Premier League title holders will concede much. Sadly for them, this has not been the case lately, but today, Petr Cech could find back his form and stand as the shield of the visitors against Arsenal the Gunners.
Florent Malouda Warns Chelsea About Arsenal’s Big Threat
The confirmed absence of Arsenal’s injured captain Cesc Fabregas and goalkeeper Almunia has come out as good news to Chelsea fans. However, Florent Malouda still expects Arsene Wenger’s men to pose a big threat. After suffering a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City with the Blues, the French man has urged his team to prepare for the battle against the Gunners.
“We have to be in control, to put the ace into the game, and to focus on our game,” Malouda told talkSPORT.
“For them [Arsenal], it’s an away game, and many times, we’ve seen teams coming here and trying to close the game. Arsenal have always played the same way: a passing game.
