Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher, has said that Chelsea will not win the Premier League title because they don’t have an elite goalkeeper and centre-backs.
The Blues are now four points behind leaders Liverpool after they came from two goals down to win 4-3 at Tottenham on Sunday.
Cole Palmer scored twice from the penalty spot, with Jadon Sancho and Enzo Fernandez also on target.
Their 35 goals so far means no team has outscored Enzo Maresca’s men this season.
Chelsea have however conceded 18 in just 15 matches and no team has won the title while conceding more than a goal a game on average since Manchester United in 2012-13.
For the game at Spurs, Robert Sanchez returned to the starting XI and played behind Benoit Badiashile and Levi Colwill.
“I still look at the goalkeeper and two centre-backs, Badiashile who played today, and I just think I can’t see someone winning the Premier League with that goalkeeper and without a real standout centre-back,” Carragher told Sky Sports.
“I think you’d say City winning it with Ederson and [Ruben] Dias, Liverpool with [Virgil] van Dijk and Alisson, going back to Petr Cech and John Terry. those figures, you think, that you need to win a title, I still think Chelsea are a little bit short in those areas.”
