Manchester United great Paul Scholes says defeat against Wolves is proof Chelsea are not ready to be title challengers.

Scholes believes Chelsea's lack of midfield creativity showed in slumping 1-0 at Everton on Saturday and 2-1 at Wolves on Tuesday night.

He said, "I think there is a lack of creativity in the middle of the pitch.

"(N'Golo) Kante you know what he's going to do, but the two next to him are young - Mount and Havertz.

"They will be fantastic but I think that's why they won't win the league this year. They're not quite ready.

"In the middle of the pitch, I think they've got the players they just need time. Mount, I'm really impressed by.

"In years to come he'll be winning games for Chelsea and scoring goals just like Frank (Lampard) did."
