Football - Premier League - Bet Now at Bet365
Leicester City head coach Claudio Ranieri says Tottenham Hotspur and not his side are favourites to win the Premier League this season.
The Foxes can move five points clear at the top of the table by beating West Brom at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday evening, but Italian Ranieri insists that City are still not the team who are most likely to be crowned champions.
He told reporters: "Everyone is speaking about Leicester but nobody about Tottenham.
"Tottenham, in my opinion, are favourites. When they defend and when they attack, they know what they want. Tottenham are strong in every situation.
"We are the surprise, that is fantastic, a good energy, but if we are realistic the real competitors are Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham."
Leicester will have to cope without one of the revelations of the season against the Baggies, with midfielder N'Golo Kante set to miss a couple of games due to a slight hamstring problem.
Andy King is the most likely replacement for Kante, while right-back Danny Simpson is back in the fold after serving a one-match suspension.
The meeting of the two sides at The Hawthorns at the end of January ended in a 3-2 victory for the Foxes, with Riyad Mahrez scoring twice and Jamie Vardy grabbing the other.
