Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has reportedly named Robert Sanchez as the player likely to stop Chelsea from winning the 2024-25 Premier League title.
With their victory over Tottenham, Chelsea maintained their excellent form under Enzo Maresca, moving up to second place in the Premier League standings and only four points behind Liverpool.
Cole Palmer’s double from the penalty spot guaranteed Maresca’s team a magnificent comeback at Spurs, inspiring the Blues to yet another significant victory.
It’s been a big weekend for Chelsea, with teams like Man City and Arsenal struggling once more and Liverpool’s match against Everton being postponed.

Even if Chelsea supporters will be discussing a run for the title, Carragher has stated that two positions are still insufficiently strong.
According to TBR Football, Carragher rejected the idea of a possible title run for Chelsea in an interview with Sky Sports, saying that the team would suffer from not having a quality goalkeeper.
“I still look at the goalkeeper [Robert Sanchez] and the two centre-backs. I can’t see a team winning the Premier League with that goalkeeper and without a standout centre-back.
“Man City won it with Ederson and Ruben Dias, Liverpool with Alisson and Virgil van Dijk and Chelsea with Petr Cech and John Terry,” Carragher said.
“I think this Chelsea are short in those areas.”
Chelsea are set to travel to Kazakhstan to face Astana in the UEFA Europa Conference League after which they will host Brentford in their next Premier League game.
