Carlo calm despite Chelsea defeat
Carlo Ancelotti insists Chelsea have "nothing to worry about" despite Saturday evening's 2-1 defeat at Manchester City.
A 2-1 loss at Eastlands ended the Blues' five-match winning run and saw their lead at the top of the Premier League cut to two points.

Carlos Tevez scored the second-half winner after Emmanuel Adebayor had found the net at either end before the break.
Frank Lampard had a late penalty saved by Shay Given and Didier Drogba failed to take a glorious chance at the death as City gained maximum reward for their best performance of the season.
But Ancelotti is not too concerned with his side still in pole position despite their third defeat of the campaign.
"We don't have any reason to be worried," he said. "We are doing well at the moment but today it was difficult because Manchester City played very well.
"But we are still top of the league and we have two more points than Manchester United so we do not need anything extra."
Ancelotti felt his side deserved something out of the game even though, for extended periods, they were pushed onto the back foot.
Chelsea were clearly unhappy at what they felt was a handball by Micah Richards immediately before Adebayor's equaliser.
"We were disappointed with the referee," Ancelotti said. "I am surprised because I consider Howard Webb to be a fantastic referee but we felt it was a handball by Richards.
"I did feel we deserved to draw, but we lost."
