Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti is unimpressed by Arsenal rival Arsene Wenger's claims that his team would drop points in December.

Wenger went on the offensive after Arsenal's kids were brushed aside by Chelsea, insisting he had seen signs of weakness in Ancelotti's side despite the comprehensive manner of the defeat.

Wenger has delighted in the fact his predication came true as Chelsea struggled through December, picking up just nine points from a possible 18 compared to Arsenal's 16.

"He's a good magician if he said that after that game," quipped Ancelotti before insisting Chelsea's presence at the top of the league is the only statistic that matters.

"There is not one unbeatable team," he said. "We had some problems in December and didn't win important games, drawing against Everton, Birmingham and West Ham, but it's normal to have these moments.

"Some teams had bad moments before, and we had that period that wasn't so good. But we still stayed at the top so we've done better than the other teams over the first six months.

"I don't know what will happen in the future. Arsenal and Manchester United will be difficult opponents. But Chelsea deserve to have stayed top."
