Former Tottenham midfielder Jermaine Jenas has tipped Chelsea to run away with the title this season, and he believes that while Liverpool will put a fight, their weakness in defence would make it difficult for the Reds.

Jermaine Jenas, a former England midfielder, said Chelsea were “out-and-out favourites” for the title.

Speaking on Match of the Day, he said: “Teams are trying. Liverpool are probably the favourites to catch them but they have defensive issues.”
