Frank Lampard fears Chelsea lack the 'goal machine' to challenge for the title — despite backing struggling striker Timo Werner to have a fantastic career at the club.
The Blues topped the table as recently as last month but are now eight points behind leaders Manchester United.
And Lampard thinks Chelsea are too young and inexperienced to mount a title push this season as they prepare to face third-placed Leicester, whom he does see as serious contenders.
'Leicester are in the race and there are others, but we have to not consider the race too much as it stands,' Lampard admitted.
