Chelsea told only one thing separating them from title races

Chelsea told only one thing separating them from title races

Chelsea is currently third in the Premier League, and the Blues have a chance to usurp struggling Manchester City who are second and a point ahead of the Blues.

Chelsea are nine points behind league leaders Liverpool and must continue to win games to keep in touch with the Reds.

Following Chelsea's 2-1 win over Leicester City, ex-Watford striker Troy Deeney, showed his disappointment at the Chelsea defence.

Troy Deeney argues that Chelsea would've been good enough to challenge for the Premier League title if they had a good goalkeeper and a strong defence.

Keeping clean sheets have been hard for Chelsea this season, and it was disappointing Chelsea couldn't keep a clean sheet against Leicester City.

"Right now, they should be looking at [the title race]," Deeney said on talkSPORT.

"But I still think that goalkeeper [Robert Sanchez] and the defenders keep letting in poor goals.

"That should have been an easy 2-0 win, if not a 3-0 win. Just open at the back today and I think that's why they have to go for top four right now.

"Unless in January they go out and get a couple of signings, that backline is going to cost them."
