Carlo Ancelotti has reacted with amazement to Arsene Wenger's claim that he knew Chelsea would drop points in the wake of Arsenal's 3-0 humiliation by their London neighbours. [LNB]Wenger went on the offensive after Arsenal's kids were brushed aside by Chelsea, insisting he had seen signs of weakness in Ancelotti's side despite the comprehensive manner of the defeat. [LNB]Wenger has delighted in the fact his predication came true as Chelsea struggled through December, picking up just nine points from a possible 18 compared to Arsenal's 16.

[LNB]'He's a good magician if he said that after that game,' quipped Ancelotti before insisting Chelsea's presence at the top of the league is the only statistic that matters.[LNB] 'There is not one unbeatable team,' he said. 'We had some problems in December and didn't win important games, drawing against Everton, Birmingham and West Ham, but it's normal to have these moments.[LNB] 'Some teams had bad moments before, and we had that period that wasn't so good. But we still stayed at the top so we've done better than the other teams over the first six months.[LNB] 'I don't know what will happen in the future. Arsenal and Manchester United will be difficult opponents. But Chelsea deserve to have stayed top.' [LNB]He admitted the title race was tight as United and Arsenal continue to press, adding: 'It's a very competitive championship and will be until the end of the season. But I think the problems are over now for Chelsea.'[LNB]VIDEO: Ancelotti on title race...[LNB] Wenger signs a striker!
