Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri says Tottenham Hotspur F.C. are the Premier League title favourites. Ranieri has never won a top-class title in his managerial career. Spurs, who are second on Premier League log with 11 games to play, have not been on top since the first week of the 2009-10 season.
But Leicester boss Ranieri, whose side face West Brom today at King Power Stadium, believes that they can end their 55-year wait for a top-class league title. Spurs, who are two points behind Leicester, could go to the top of the log with a win against West Ham on Wednesday. Arsenal are three points behind their rivals Spurs, with Manchester City in the fourth place.
As it stands – Premier League Top 8 scores
Will Leicester City win against West Brom?
Leicester boss believes Spurs have avoided the usual attention generated by a title challenge. He also believes that Spurs are strong in every situation. “Everyone is speaking about Leicester but nobody about Tottenham,” said Ranieri.
He further explained that in his opinion, Spurs are favourites. When they attack, and when they defend, they know what they want. Leicester is the surprise, that is fantastic with good energy, but if they are realistic, the real competitors are Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham.
