Tottenham are favourites to win EPL: Ranieri

Leicester, March 1: Leicester City manager Claudio Ranieri believes that Tottenham Hotspur are the favourites to win the English Premier League (EPL) title this season.

Spurs are on 54 points from 27 games, just two points behind league toppers Leicester with 11 matches remaining.

"Tottenham are strong in every situation, everyone is speaking about Leicester but nobody about Tottenham," Ranieri was quoted as saying by the BBC on Monday.

"Tottenham, in my opinion, are favourites. When they defend and when they attack, they know what they want."

The Italian coach also added that except Tottenham the other two contenders for the title are Manchester City and Arsenal.

"We are the surprise, that is fantastic, a good energy, but if we are realistic the real competitors are Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham," he said.
