Chelsea<\/a> manager Carlo Ancelotti<\/a> believes his side have the edge in the title run-in head of tomorrow’s game against Manchester United<\/a> at Old Trafford.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Blues have dropped just two points from a possible 27 since falling 15 points adrift of Manchester United just over two months ago and Ancelotti believes their form will have caught everyone by surprise.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMan United hoped they wouldn’t have to play this kind of game against us,\u201d Ancelotti told reporters.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf they’d had more of an advantage, it could have been an easy game against us – not easy, but a different game.<\/span><\/p>\n

“They have to fight again for the title.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Maybe two or three weeks ago, they didn’t think in this game they’d need to fight so much.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Mentally, for this reason, we can have an advantage.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Howard Webb has been confirmed as the referee who will take charge of the clash at Old Trafford and despite Sir Alex Ferguson fearing a poor decision, Ancelotti says he believes Webb to be one of the best.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf the referee has no experience, maybe I can be a little bit worried about this, but with Howard Webb there is no problem,” he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s not good to speak about the referee. I don’t want to put pressure on the referee.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I have trust in the referees in England. They are good, I think.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If they make a mistake, as all referees do in the world, it’s normal. You have to accept that.<\/span><\/p>\n

“You either have to accept the decision of the referees or say there’s a conspiracy.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m a man who thinks they can make mistakes.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Ancelotti\u2019s future has come under increasing speculation in recent months despite the champions’ good form and the Italian believes he still has a future at Stamford Bridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s not crazy to think that the club can change,” said the Italian.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Every club has this possibility to change the manager at the end of the season if they want to change.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’ve tried to do my best. But the club has to check my job.<\/span><\/p>\n

“If they consider my job good, I will stay. If they don’t consider it good, they can change.”<\/span><\/p>\n
