Can Leicester win the league? Its the question everyone has been debating over the weekend.The Foxes stunning 3-1 win at title rivals Manchester City has propelled them into a five-point advantage at the top of the Premier League with just 13 games to play.Here, we round up views from across Sky Sports, including those of pundits, managers and journalists, on whether Claudio Ranieris side can go all the way… Thierry Henry, Sky Sports Thierry Henry has been impressed by Leicesters desire At the moment, for me, they are THE team to win it. Not only have they shown they can win it, theyve shown they can cope with the pressure. Theyre top of the league, they go to Manchester City and win the game 3-1 - and easily as well, it could have been four or five. They dont show theyre nervous. We see a good desire. They want to grab it.Claudio Ranieri, Leicester manager Leicester Citys 3-1 win has no significance at all, says Claudio Ranieri I dont believe the bookmakers. At the beginning of the season the bookmakers said, sack Ranieri. I hope one time they are right!Jamie Redknapp, Sky SportsCan Leicester win the league? I dont really believe in miracles but youre starting to believe in this one. The fact theyve got no Europa League, no FA Cup, means its pretty much Saturday-Saturday for them. For Ranieri that must be a joy. He can just keep them ticking over, there hasnt got to be too much training.Leicester have got every chance, and its almost becoming theres to lose.Alan Smith, Sky Sports They absolutely wiped the floor with Manchester City. Alan Smith Its right that they should be considered favourites. You beat Liverpool at home in fine style and then a few days later you go to the Etihad and do what they did to what were then the title favourites. They absolutely wiped the floor with City.Manuel Pellegrini, Man City manager Manuel Pellegrinis Man City have lost significant ground to Leicester If Leicester continue playing the way they are [then they are favourites for the title]. There are 13 games more so its difficult to predict.Oliver Kay, The TimesA lot of people, including Pellegrini, says this is happening because all the Premier League teams have a lot of money now and can buy top players.I have to say that is disingenuous. This is Leicester, theyre not shopping in the same markets as Swansea and Southampton, let alone the top clubs.They are out-performing, out-thinking, out-fighting, out-running teams who have got enormously bigger budgets. This isnt just a levelling out of the Premier League, this is a team doing something absolutely exceptional. John Dillon thinks there is a lot of substance behind Leicesters title push Graeme Souness, Sky Sports Im as amazed as anyone. From November, December youre expecting Leicester to drop off the pace. Fair play. Graeme Souness Im as amazed as anyone. From November, December youre expecting Leicester to drop off the pace, they dont have the biggest squad and the way they play football - they give the ball away more than any other team - which means you have to work hard to get it back and expend a lot of energy.Like everyone else, Im amazed. But I never saw them involved in a bad game last year. This year theyve turned those draws and losses into wins. Fair play.Garry Monk, former Swansea boss Garry Monk has been impressed by Leicesters approach Its an unbelievable story and great for the league. Its all on merit as well. Its not like theyre getting lucky or hanging on in any of the games. They have won every single game on merit.Theres only two games theyve lost all season. Whats clear in the way they play is they know exactly who they are and what their jobs are. Its very organised and they dont pretend to be something else or try anything else. They do exactly what they know they can do and its obviously very effective. The way they are playing, you cant put it past them going on a winning run again and maintaining what they are doing. The fact is, the difference between them and the other teams that are up there is its a bonus for them. The others are expected to be there and expected to win. They are playing without fear because its a bonus for them.Ian Ladyman, Daily Mail Daily Mail football editor Ian Ladyman thinks Leicesters success is helping Tottenham [Ranieri] certainly is in manager of the year territory. Finishing in the top four isnt a given, but from where they are, that has to happen now. I think from that point on he will start to think about winning the league.He suffered at Chelsea because he didnt look and sound like people expected a Premier League manager to look and sound. Hes showing now that he knows what hes doing.Saturdays game was absolutely uplifting. It really was. From a neutral point of view, the way they played, the belief they showed, the goals they scored, the commitment they showed… If that dressing room didnt believe beforehand that they can win the title, they definitely will believe it now, because that was a Championship-winning performance.Paul Merson, Sky Sports Paul Merson is expecting Arsenal to beat Leicester next weekend No [they cant win the title] because if Arsenal beat them next week theyre two points behind them - thats how quickly it changes. Theyre top four, and Ive just written Manchester United off today [Saturday]. I dont think Manchester United win the league now.Watch Arsenal v Leicester and Man City v Tottenham live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Sunday, or watch for £6.99 without a contract, on NOW TVAlso See:First-time title winnersRanieri: Dont look downArsenal new title favouritesUlloa: Everything is possibleBoston Red Sox Pro Shop .

Ouellette, from Montreal, already has three Olympic gold medals since joining the team in 1999.(STATS) -- Not so fast, the cupboard isnt bare at Southern Utah.The defending champions may not be the popular pick when the Big Sky football polls are released Tuesday, but people in the conference still recognize the strong talent in the Thunderbirds program even after they graduated some dominant players and lost their head coach.In the nations largest FCS conference, the Thunderbirds could be picked closer to where they were in last years preseason coaches and media polls than where they finished -- with their first Big Sky title.Southern Utah had the most selections Monday on the Big Sky preseason team with five -- seniors Steven Wroblewski (tight end), Mike Sharp (wide receiver) and Tate Lewis (punter), as wells as juniors Chance Bearnson (defensive tackle) and Mike Needham (linebacker).Honestly, we did lose some key guys, Lewis said. They were great for our team last year, but most of the guys that we had last year are back. I think it just comes down to us recognizing that and realizing we still have a great team and we can still do great things. Thats what we should expect.New Thunderbirds coach Demario Warren, promoted from defensive coordinator after coach Ed Lamb left for BYU following eight seasons, faces plenty of challenges as his team tries to replace quarterback Ammon Olsen and defensive stalwarts James Cowser, Miles Killebrew and LeShaun Sim, among others.But Warren returns a strong nucleus, led by Needham, a first-team All-Big Sky choice last season when Southern Utah won the conference title with a 7-1 mark and finished 8-4 overall with a No. 18 national ranking.I just feel like as long as we have that belief and everyone is on board, Lewis said, well do a great job.Northern Arizona and Weber State tied for the second-most preseason selections with four each. Those two teams, along with Southern Utah, Eastern Washington, Montana, North Dakota and Portland State are all part of what should be a wide-open title race in the 13-tteam Big Sky.ddddddddddddEastern Washington senior wide receiver Cooper Kupp, the 2015 STATS FCS Offensive Player of the Year, and Montana senior defensive end Caleb Kidder were named the Big Skys preseason offensive and defensive players of the year.What is important to me, Kupp said, is that Im giving my best day in and day out. As long as everyone else on the Eastern Washington football team walks off the field their last time playing and is able to look back and say, I gave everything I had this season. I gave my very best, everything else that comes with that -- statistics, team success, all the stuff -- is going to come with it.---=BIG SKY CONFERENCE FOOTBALL PRESEASON TEAM=Offensive Player of the Year -- Cooper Kupp, WR, Eastern WashingtonDefensive Player of the Year -- Caleb Kidder, DE, MontanaOffenseQB -- Case Cookus, Northern ArizonaRB -- *John Santiago, North DakotaRB -- Chad Newell, Montana StateFB -- *Joe Protheroe, Cal PolyTE -- Steven Wroblewski, Southern UtahOG -- Cameron Young, Weber StateOG -- J.P.
