After defeat to Wigan Athletic, Florent Malouda has dismissed claims Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti could soon come under pressure.

Last season, under Phil Scolari, Chelsea were unbeaten for their first 12 games but one defeat, at home to Liverpool in October, sparked a slide.

They won just 11 of the next 23 and Scolari was gone by February. Although he scoffed at the idea, this amounts to Ancelotti’s first test, avoiding the same trap at a time when his squad is stretched.

"I don’t want to know what happened last season," said Ancelotti.

"I’m focused on this season. We lost one game, but that can happen. We have to fix it. I haven’t worked with these players for long but I like their attitude. I don’t think they’ve lost that."
