Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti has declared they can win the Premiership after their 3-0 win over Burnley.

Goals from Nicolas Anelka just before half-time and two quickfire strikes after the interval from Michael Ballack and Ashley Cole - his first at Stamford Bridge - completed the demolition job.

The defeat would have been much heavier if Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen had not pulled off a string of fine saves. The win put Chelsea back on top of the table with four wins out of four.

The fluidity of Chelsea's football was unstoppable with players inter-changing roles with ease.

"We have showed that we can adapt to different systems and shapes with intelligent movement and I am pleased with the way my attacking players have shown they can move into spaces whatever system we play," said Ancelotti.

"I am happy because we showed good play on the pitch. We have to maintain this moment.

"My players did well in the first half but it was important to maintain quick movement of the ball for the full 90 minutes. Every week we work in training to play well and for a coach that is important.

"It means that we are going the right way. I proposed an idea and the players are doing very well with it.

"Burnley played well in defence in the first half. They like to attack and have very good qualities. They attacked very well against Manchester United when they beat them.

"We have a possibility to win the league. We have started well but we know the season is very long.

"I have trust in this squad and all of my players are hungry to show what they can do and to win every game."
