With Leicester City sitting 5 points on top of the table, pundits and coaches alike have tipped the Foxes to pull of what was unthinkable at the start of the season and win the English Premier League.
Even Arsenal legend Thierry Henry nominated Claudio Ranieri's boys as favorites to win the league crown ahead of his former side, as the ex-Gunners striker claimed Wenger's side lack the mentality to win the title.
“I would question also the mentality of it. The game against Chelsea, they didn’t score. Those are the sort of games you need to win," said the retired Frenchman.
“For me at the moment, Leicester are the team to win it. They’re not only showing they can win it, they’re showing they can cope with the pressure.”
Ranieri, however, speaking after his side's impressive 3-1 win over Manchester City at the Etihad, warned his players not to get fazed by their current form, advising them not to look down in the standings.
"I am enjoying it and also my players must enjoy it - until Tuesday anyway, then focus [on Arsenal]. We want them to train the same as they play. It's important for us to concentrate and keep our feet on the ground," said the Italian manager ahead of next Sunday's trip to the Emirates.

"That's important because it's the first time in their lives that they are doing something special. So it's important not to look down or behind you. Like a climber, you need to look up. If you look down, you go: 'Oh! My God, look where we are!'"
"Of course the bigger clubs are nervous but it doesn't matter to me, it's not my problem," added the 64-year-old manager.
"For Leicester the pressure was at the beginning of the season when we started out because our goal was to maintain our position in the Premier League but now the pressure is on the other teams who have spent a lot of money to win the Premier League, the Champions League."
Should the league leaders win the Premier League title, it will be a fairy tale turnaround of Hollywood proportion, as Leicester City were dead-bottom in the standings at this very same stage last year.
