DOUBLE AT CHELSEA
* Ancelotti makes a flying start at Stamford Bridge as his side win their opening six matches in the Premier League.

DISAPPOINTING FOLLOW-UP
* Despite starting the season with successive 6-0 wins and leading the table until November, the goals start to dry up.
* A six-game run without a win, starting with a 3-0 home defeat by Sunderland, turns up the heat on Ancelotti for the first time since his arrival.
* In January, Chelsea struggle to stay in the top four before a late rally almost puts them in contention for the title, only to lose 2-1 to Manchester United.
* Ancelotti fails to find a system to get the best from British record signing Fernando Torres.
* Owner Roman Abramovich’s dream of winning the Champions League is again frustrated as Chelsea lose to Manchester United in the quarter-finals.
* Ancelotti appears almost resigned to his fate in the final days of the season, which ends with a 1-0 defeat at Everton that leaves them nine points behind United in the final standings.
