Jamie Carragher has dismissed Peter Schmeichel's bold claim that Chelsea could clinch the Premier League title with underperforming goalkeeper Robert Sanchez. Do you think Chelsea can win the league with Robert Sanchez in goal?" After a brief pause, the former Premier League champion responded: "Erm yes, and better defenders."

Once presenter Kate Abdo had said goodbye to Schmeichel, former Manchester City defender Micah Richards then interrupted as he told Carragher: "You put him on the spot there, didn't you?



He didn't say it with conviction, did he!" Sanchez is anticipated to start in goal for Chelsea this weekend, having already served his suspension following his red card at Old Trafford. Sanchez has since made a complete return against his previous club Brighton - a game which Chelsea lost 3-1 - while he also succeeded in keeping a clean sheet against Benfica in the Champions League.

Since then, he's accumulated 69 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions and has prevented the opposition from scoring with 22 clean sheets. During his first season, he was competing with current Bournemouth star Djordje Petrovic for the role, and while he was afforded more opportunities last term, Sanchez found himself dropped for Jorgensen on multiple occasions.
