Using Phil McNulty's BBC blog as a starting point - how will Chelsea fair in your view ?

Chelsea and Ancelotti deserve more respect than to be written off after one bad run, but the warning signs are flashing as they drop to fourth place in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Manchester United having played a game more.
Ancelotti, for all the past expenditure, has a threadbare squad at his disposal. Chelsea's bench was embarrassingly inferior to Arsenal's where Wenger had Marouane Chamakh, Abou Diaby, Andrey Arshavin, Tomas Rosicky and Nicklas Bendtner to call on.
Much has been made of the sacking of Ancelotti's assistant Ray Wilkins as the catalyst for their slide, a decision that clearly failed to meet with his approval. And in a moment when four members of Chelsea's backroom staff appeared in the technical area at the Emirates to offer advice, there was no sign of Wilkins' successor Michael Emanolo.
Wilkins was a popular member of Ancelotti's staff, but if his departure really has led to Chelsea's form jumping off a cliff then the entire empire was built on the flakiest foundations. It is an unlikely story.
