Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says is beginning to consider the possibility that Leicester can win the Premier League title this season.

The Chelsea boss said recently that he did not think Leicester could go on to take the title, but their continued good form has forced him into a re-think.

"Well, first of all they deserve to be where they are," said Mourinho. "Let's be honest.

"I said a couple of weeks ago I don't believe they can be champions. Maybe I have to think twice before saying that again.

"One thing is to be top of the league in September after a beautiful start, another thing is to be top of the league in December. That is a completely different story.

"If they get result after result, it is because they can win the title.

"It would be something magnificent, it would be something to impress the football world, but sometimes these things can happen and why not happen with them?

"They are there because they are doing magnificently well and we are where we are because we are doing badly."
