Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson refuses to write off Chelsea's title defence.
The Blues are now outside the top four.
But Ferguson says: "We expected Chelsea would be the team to beat.
"They've hit a bad bit of form which we all get, but maybe they've had that at a good time because they've still got three or four months ahead of them.
"We expected Arsenal to improve because they've got younger players and we expected them to get better. They will all be bang in there."
