Jamie Carragher shares Chelsea Premier League title theory after Enzo Maresca move
Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea are quietly going under the radar in regards to their Premier League title hopes.
The Blues came from two goals down to beat Spurs 4-3 on Sunday with Cole Palmer once again instrumental in the victory. Palmer netted twice from the penalty spot and also broke a Chelsea record in the process with 37 Premier League goal contributions in one year.
Chelsea climbed to second in the Premier League table in the process and are now just a mere four points behind leaders Liverpool. With Manchester City out of form and Arsenal having already lost ground too in recent weeks, Carragher issued his beliefs regarding Chelsea's title claims.

"In the interview he did with Pat Davison before the game, I think he said he had spoken to [Claudio] Ranieri a couple of days ago," said Carragher when reflecting on Maresca's start to life at Stamford Bridge.
"Now you go back to Leicester winning the title and no matter when he was asked if they could win the title, he used to just say 'Dilly ding, dilly dong' just something random! He never wanted to answer the question and maybe that'll be the advice he will be speaking to him about.
"They are definitely in it and you look at some of the attacking players, no team is perfect, I am talking about the goalkeeper who isn't great. But there are areas in Liverpool's team where you think they could improve there, the same with Arsenal and no doubt [Manchester] City right now.
"I just think certain positions feel more important than others when you think of teams who win the biggest prizes. That's what would probably make me say right now that they are, and you still look at the goalkeeper, I mean even today, they are a couple of [his] clearances Tottenham could have gotten a goal from.
"You can go to Everton and you lose that maybe 1-0 because of a situation with the goalkeeper. You look at the game at Anfield, Chelsea played Liverpool off the park and Liverpool were delighted to get the full-time whistle.
"You do look at that game and [say] that the goalkeeper let them down and I just think I look at Liverpool's goalkeeper and even Arsenal's goalkeeper, I think they are a level above Chelsea's."
