Blackburn Rovers great Alan Shearer has warned Leicester City to expect some nerves as they go after the Premier League title.

The Foxes remain top of the table after 28 matches, just a season-and-a-half after gaining promotion from the Championship, and are gunning for a shock premiership against all odds.

Shearer was a key part of the Blackburn side that came up from the second division to win the Premier League in 1995 and although he has backed Leicester in to clinch the title this season, he says there will be definitely some shaky moments in the East Midlands during the remaining 10 matches.

"I don't think anyone can call it," Shearer said. "There's going to be twists and turns between now and the end of the season.

"I've been in this situation with Blackburn in 1995 and nerves do come into it, but Leicester are looking very good at the minute. They're three points clear and it's been another great week for them.

"They've got a decent game on Saturday against Watford whereas Arsenal and Spurs play each other. It will be another fun weekend if you're sat watching and are a neutral. I'm almost certain that every neutral will want Leicester to win it - it would be a fantastic story.

"It's nerve-racking because Blackburn, like Leicester now, had never been in that situation. Whatever happens with Leicester, it's been an amazing season for them."
