Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti says Manchester City can compete with the best this season, but a title challenge is out of reach.

The Blues lost at Eastlands yesterday, as City moved above Liverpool to sixth in the Premier League, with a game in hand.

Ancelotti said: "They will do better in the future because they have very good players.

"I don't know if they can win the league this season though, I'm not a magician."
