Jamie Carragher says Chelsea must replace goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga if they are to challenge for the title next season.
Kepa has struggled at times this season under Frank Lampard, with the Blues' boss even dropping the 25-year-old in February.
He had another tough game at Anfield on Wednesday night, which saw him at fault for a number of goals in his side’s 5-3 defeat.
And Carragher has opened up on how the whole situation reminds him of the goalkeeping situation in Jurgen Klopp's early years at Liverpool.
“Chelsea won't go no further unless they change their goalkeeper,” he told Sky Sports.
“Going back to how important goalkeepers are I look at this Chelsea team and there's a lot I like about it, it does remind me in a lot of ways the position Jurgen Klopp was in a couple of years ago.
“[Lampard] has done as much as he can, yes Frank's still in his early stages but those big signings can completely transform you as a team.
“I still think Chelsea need a defender, you see how many goals they've conceded. I think a lot of that is down to the goalkeeper being totally honest.
“You see a lot of centre-halves at Chelsea without seeing one really outstanding one, those are the areas that if they are going to challenge Liverpool and Man City they'll have to rectify in the summer.
“They are the worst team in the league defending corners. This is a massive problem for Chelsea.
“Yes, Werner is coming in and the lad from Ajax, there is talk of Havertz as well.
"It sounds great and it gets supporters excited but it means nothing if you don't sort out that back three and certainly that goalkeeper.”
