Leicester City defender Jonny Evans insists there's no reason to write them off as a title challenger.

The Foxes currently sit second on the Premier League table.

Evans said, "I don't think you'll be able to judge that until after Christmas when we're getting into it.

"We know how seasons can finish. It'll be tough. We need a big squad to do that, and all firing in the right directions.

"We've shown we can battle games out but we've just got to do what we're doing and see where it takes us.

"It's still really early on in the season. If you look at it there's still teams like Sheffield United sitting fifth. So we know it's going to be a long season and every team can beat everyone.

"We're in good confidence at the moment but the next period, especially being Christmas, will really test everyone's squad."
