Liverpool struggles surprise Chelsea boss Ancelotti

Liverpool's Premier League struggles this season have surprised Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti.

The Anfield outfit are already 11 points adrift of Ancelotti's league leaders, who have a five-point cushion over Arsenal and Manchester United.

The Italian told Il Giornale: "United were two points behind Chelsea before our face-to-face; they have done well in the Champions League.

"Valencia, his (Ronaldo's) replacement, has great qualities and is starting to click with the well-oiled machine that is United.

"The only real disappointment (of the season) is Liverpool."
