Chelsea will suffer relegation from the Premier League
this season.
Andy Carroll believes West Ham's London rivals Chelsea are
genuine contenders to be relegated from the Premier League.
Jose Mourinho's champions have made an abysmal defence of
their title, picking up only 15 points from 16 games to sit just
one point clear of the bottom three.
Forward Carroll scored the winning goal as West Ham inflicted
one of Chelsea's nine league defeats in October and he feels a
stunning relegation is on the cards this season.
When asked if Mourinho's men could really go down, he told
Sky Sports: "It is hard to think Chelsea could be in the bottom
three at the end of the season.
"But the way they are going, I don't see why they can't get
relegated. I think it's obviously on the cards.
"It is crazy to see the quality in that team at the bottom of the
league. It is tough to actually realise that they are such a good
team, with quality players, and who spent so much money on
those players - they just can't string a pass together at the
minute."
Unlike Chelsea, West Ham are comfortably in the top half sitting
in eighth position on 24 points, but Carroll believes they should
be even higher in the table.
He continued: "I think we have got to try and get into Europe,
100 per cent. Some of the games we have played, we should
have won.
"We could be up there around the top places. If we look at
ourselves deep down, we could be there."
Chelsea are at home to Sunderland on Saturday, while West
Ham travel to play Swansea City on Sunday.
