Carlo Ancelotti has backed Jose Mourinho to 'sort it' at Chelsea - and tipped Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season.

The Blues fell to their fifth defeat in their opening 10 league fixtures at the hands of West Ham on Saturday, and Mourinho was sent to the stands on another afternoon to forget for the Portuguese.

Chelsea have picked up just three victories in a so-far limp defence of the title, and already look to be out of the race to win the league this season.

Former Real Madrid boss Ancelotti believes Manchester City have the most complete squad in the top-flight, but thinks their inconsistency might plague them.

The Italian has praised Arsene Wenger for adapting the Gunners' system to optimise the impact of Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott, and thinks it could be a title-winning formula.

He told La Gazzetta dello Sport: “I didn’t expect this crisis, but I do understand the reasons behind these problems. I think they are feeling sated.

"Last year they won by a mile, now they are more relaxed. Don’t worry, Mourinho will sort it out. He is the right man.

“Manchester City are the most complete squad in the Premier League, but every now and then they go off piste. They are not 100 per cent reliable.

“I’d watch out for Arsenal. Arsene Wenger did well to change their system, so he waits and counters to get the best out of the pace of Theo Walcott and Alexis Sanchez.”
