Chelsea hero Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has written off Frank Lampard's team as a title contender.
After their 3-3 draw with Southampton, Hasselbaink thinks defensive weaknesses will put paid to any title challenge.
He said: "No, Chelsea are not contenders [for the title].
"They are leaking too many goals. It is a breath of fresh air to see them going forward with the likes of Mason Mount and Werner.
"But the defence is a worry, if they cannot improve the centre-backs and goalkeeper it is a concern.
"Alisson wins Liverpool points, but that doesn't happen with Kepa. Chelsea need to improve in that area."
