Ancelotti puts up the case for Chelsea defence.CHELSEA v WOLVES TODAY, 3PM CARLO ANCELOTTI Carlo Ancelotti (born June 10, 1959 in Reggiolo) is a former footballer and current coach of Serie A club A.C. Milan. He is currently the longest-tenured manager in Serie A, having been with Milan since November 2001. (right) insists Chelsea possess the best defence in the world and that will be key to winning the Premier League title. Chelsea are without the injured Frank Lampard But Ashley Cole is set to return from injury and John Terry will be back after missing England's friendly against Brazil. And the manager believes Chelsea's back line is better than his celebrated defence at AC Milan which contained Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Nesta. Ancelotti said: "If you want to win a cup or a championship it is important not to concede a goal. We have fantastic defenders in Terry, Carvalho and Alex. Chelsea have the best central defenders in the world at the moment. "Defence is the key. If you don't concede a goal the worst it can be is 0-0. We have four central defenders and nobody has this quality." Wolves are boosted by the return of right-back Kevin Foley. Foley has only made three appearances this season after twice suffering knee ligament problems. Ronald Zubar is a major doubt. |
