<p style="text-align: justify;">A calamitous week in Premiership saw Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur drop points while The Toffees unremitting in their <a href="http://www.skysports.com/football/match_report/0,19764,11065_3286226,00.html" target="_blank">pursuit to the bottom-of-table</a> maintained their current form.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><em>'Citeh' – A Headache for the Champions</em></span></strong></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">City captain Carlos Tevez, who scored in both the legs last year against Chelsea, continued to keep the statisticians happy with a solo effort on the hour mark. The City backline locked the door with the three-man defensive midfield shield acting as the bolt. The only time The Londoners came close to unlocking that door was when Ivanovic’s header hit the woodwork in the first half. Well, now, Ancelotti is quite convinced that <a href="http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6402179,00.html" target="_blank">City can challenge Chelsea</a> for the title<em>.
