Ancelotti insists he will keep on tinkering with his Chelsea squad after watching them despatch west London neighbours Fulham 2-0 with ease. Chelsea made four changes from the side that defeated Sunderland, including leaving Michael Essien on the bench. He said: "It was a good line-up. Essien has played all the games, so I wanted to give him a rest. He'll play the next game.
We have to follow this line." Ancelotti gave more responsibility to Nigerian John Mikel Obi who was joined by German Michael Ballack in the holding midfield postion. Essien�s axing by Ancelotti has not gone down well with the club�s fans who see the Ghanaian as the favourite player in the holding midfield position. This is also likely to spark fresh speculation about Essien�s future with Cheslea as Spanish giants Barcelona will watch this with keen interest. Barcelona and AC Milan are said to be interested in Essien.
