Jamie Carragher believes this season's Premier League title is very much Leicester City's to lose.

The Foxes lead Tottenham Hotspur by two points following the North London side's 2-0 victory at Aston Villa on Sunday but according to the former Liverpool defender, Claudio Ranieri's men remain in the drivers' seat.

"It's a game you'd expect them [Tottenham] to win," Carragher told Sky Sports News HQ.

"Villa have been in free-fall all season and Spurs probably should have won four or five nil.

"It's a massive result for them in this title race, but it's Leicester's to lose with the gap they have.

"But if [Tottenham] and Arsenal can keep putting the pressure on then who knows? Leicester may falter as we've expected them to do, but they've proved us all wrong."

Leicester host Newcastle United at King Power Stadium on Monday night as they look to restore their five-point lead over Spurs.
