Liverpool FC icon Alan Hansen has questioned the desire of the Chelsea FC players after their disappointing draw at Blackburn Rovers.
The result leaves the Blues four points behind Premier League leaders Manchester United.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph Hansen said:: "The title run-in is well underway, but Manchester United and Arsenal are the only teams who have that genuine desire to win it.
"There has never been a season when the title has been there for the taking as it has been this year and Chelsea should have won it by a country mile.
"United have struggled for a long time and produced more bad performances than I can ever remember. Arsenal, having lost heavily to both United and Chelsea, should have been out of the race a long time ago.
“Chelsea should be home and hosed by now but, for whatever reason, they have not shown the desire required to win the league.
"Why has that happened? It could be down to a host of reasons, but biggest question is do they really want it? If you look at Arsenal and United in recent weeks, their performances tell you categorically that they desperately want to win the league.
“That’s why I believe that the title race is now between those two. Chelsea are not out of it, but they don’t appear to want it enough."
