“Both players will cost us Top4” “Replace them or get sacked” – Mikel Obi warns Enzo Maresca to replace these two Chelsea stars before is too late

After managing only one victory in their last seven Premier League games, Chelsea’s efforts to secure the title this season have come off track.

The Blues suffered their most recent defeat against Manchester City, who came from behind at the Etihad to secure a 3-1 victory as Premier League champions.

Now, Enzo Maresca’s team is in seventh place after being surpassed by Bournemouth and is 13 points away from the top.

John Obi Mikel has now warned the West London club that they must make upgrades if they want to become a title-winning team.

John Obi Mikel tells Chelsea to upgrade Robert Sanchez and Nicolas Jackson
Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has urged them to upgrade Robert Sanchez and Nicolas Jackson if they want to win the Premier League.

Sanchez made a big error against City which allowed Erling Haaland to lob him for 2-1 and the club’s supporters are growing tired of his mishaps.

Obi Mikel told The Obi One Podcast: “He’s not a top, top keeper. (We need) players who are good enough to win the league and put us in the top four, he is not that goalkeeper.”

Meanwhile, Jackson has now gone seven games without a goal and Obi Mikel claims he is another player the Blues must improve on.

“Nicolas (Jackson) is not that striker that will win us the league. Top four, maybe, but not to put us where we belong and for me, he showed that again Sanchez with that mistake (versus Man City).

“We need to get another top striker and a goalkeeper and again Sanchez has shown it that goalkeeper to win us the league.”

Robert Sanchez sets unwanted record this season for Chelsea
Sanchez has now committed the joint-most errors leading to a goal in the Premier League this season.

The Spanish international is now level with Ipswich Town goalkeeper Arijanet Muric with five errors leading to a goal.
