Chelsea are in the thick of the Premier League title race, sitting second behind leaders Liverpool ahead of the holiday fixtures.
It's a position not many would have put the London side before the season started, but an impressive start to the campaign under manager Enzo Maresca has the Blues challenging for supremacy in England's top flight.
For Shaun Wright-Phillips, the way the club have handled their ascent has been impressive, and he says the Blues are just a couple of tweaks away from winning the title.
"The only question marks about this team are in defence and in goal," Wright-Phillips, who spent three seasons at Stamford Bridge, told sportscasting.com. "If a prime Thiago Silva was still there, if [Thibaut] Courtois was still there, then you're thinking, Chelsea could probably go on and win the Premier League.
"I like the way that Enzo Maresca and his players have handled the title talk. They've said, ‘Don't worry about all that, we're just going to play our games.’ Everyone has been so focused on City, Liverpool and Arsenal’s rivalry at the top, Chelsea are just cruising by, doing their business and winning the games that they are supposed to win.
"Now, everybody thinks Chelsea have an outside chance, so I want to see how they deal with that, because everybody's talking about them rather than the other teams at this moment in time."
