Carragher on Chelsea's chances of challenging Liverpool

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher does not believe Chelsea will challenge for the Premier League title during the back end of the campaign.



The Blues registered a stunning 4-2 comeback win over Tottenham Hotspur. They were 2-0 down early on, but made a tremendous comeback.

The club are now just four points behind leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand against Everton after it was postponed on Saturday.

Speaking after the game, Carragher said that the Blues are real contenders, but he is not sure due to the quality of their goalkeeper and centre-backs.

He said: "It is real because it is.But I look at the goalkeeper and the centre-backs and I am not sure."

Chelsea have exceeded expectations under manager Enzo Maresca. They are currently regarded as the main challengers to Arne Slot's side.

Maresca has frequently dismissed a title charge for the Blues, but the club can't be ignored if they keep on winning heading into next year.
