'I believe we will win the title,' Ancelotti said. 'When I signed a contract with Chelsea I believed we'd win something. We started the season believing that we could win. Our objective is to stay in all the competitions until the end of the season and then, if we can win, we will try to do that.[LNB]'I prefer to think that they can stay on top of the table, top of the list. It's not so important for me if Arsenal can return to first position. For me it's just important that Chelsea continue to play like today, with determination and with concentration.'[LNB] Related ArticlesThe Daily Bung: Hobbits 0 Orcs 3Arsenal 0 Chelsea 3Hansen: Ancelotti has made Drogba best in leagueDebate: two-horse race?Didier Drogba is football's most complete strikerAnelka wants to sign new dealAncelotti also applauded Didier Drogba, whose double stretched Chelsea's lead over United to five points. But the Italian is confident Chelsea can cope without Drogba when he leaves for the African Cup of Nations in January. [LNB]'We played some matches without Drogba in the Champions League and won,' Ancelotti said. 'He's an important player, but today we had Ballack, Malouda, Deco and Kalou on the bench. They are top players who can play in any team. For this I'm not too worried. It was a very good performance. I think that if you win 3-0 at Arsenal, you have to do a good job.'[LNB]Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, believes Chelsea's victory had more to do with luck.[LNB]The score is a very unfair reflection of the game but it is the score and we cannot change it now," he added. [LNB]"I believe that Chelsea had absolutely everything for them. The first shot on goal they scored and the second cross they scored. And after that it was difficult. [LNB]"They are physically strong players, but that is the impression you get when they are 2-0 up. They just defended in their own half and attacked on the break. They lost many balls and made many technical mistakes but we couldn't take advantage." [LNB][LNB]
