Arsenal legend Ian Wright has claimed that Leicester City can win the Premier League title this season.

The Foxes made history on Friday night when they beat Southampton 9-0 away from.

Brendan Rodgers' side recorded the biggest away win in English football history whilst also equalling Manchester United's Premier League record of a nine-goal winning margin after beating Ipswich Town by the same scoreline in 1994.

There is a real belief around the King Power Stadium that Leicester could finish in the top four and secure Champions League football for the first time since they won the title in 2016.

The Foxes sit third in the table after 10 league matches, with a four-point cushion over Arsenal who occupy fifth spot.

Whilst all the supporters' eyes are on a top-four finish, Wright has insisted that you can't write off Leicester winning the league once again, just as they did in sensational fashion four years ago.

"People said they weren't going to win the league when they did it. You can't say that with football," he told BBC Radio 5Live Monday Night Club.

"Of course they can win the league! If Manchester City and Liverpool slip-up and you had to say 'what team is in and around it that could take advantage'.

"The experience they've got, the manager they have got and the way they're playing consistently. Of course, they can win the league.

"Whether they do it or not. Don't write them off, never write them off. You're talking about a club that has done that.

"People were saying 'it's a great start for Leicester but they will never win the league' then come Christmas 'they won't finish it' then next thing they've won the league. That's how it went!"

Leicester sit eight points behind league-leaders Liverpool but were only narrowly beaten by them after a last-minute penalty at Anfield from James Milner.

The pair next meet on Boxing Day in a match that has all the ingredients to be a classic.
