Chelsea are eight points clear of their London rivals but Ancelotti, who has masterminded wins over Manchester United and Liverpool this season, believes even stretching that advantage to 11 on Sunday will not close the door on Arsene Wenger's side.

He said: "This is a very important game because Arsenal are one of the most important teams in England and Europe. But it's not decisive for the title.

"It's not about sending out a message. We want to play better than Arsenal and win to improve our position, that's all."

John Terry, meanwhile, today distanced himself from a press release issued by a PR firm to several businesses, seeking commercial endorsements on the back of his status as England captain.

The Chelsea skipper said: "This email has been sent without my authority or knowledge and was not approved by me (or those advising me). I have nothing further to say on the matter."
