Former Leicester City captain Matt Elliott is impressed by Brendan Rodgers' team this season.

The Foxes' 2-0 win over Arsenal on Saturday saw them move up to second in the table, nine points clear of Sheffield United in fifth.

"That was a huge result [for Leicester] against Arsenal. To create that nine-point gap between Leicester and the Gunners - that's a big difference. Tottenham are struggling as well. They can't get their game together," Elliott said.

"So, it's somewhat reminiscent of the title-winning campaign, in as much as everything seems to be falling into place for Leicester. The opportunity is there, without a doubt."

He added: "I think [top four] is more realistic [than winning the league], for sure. You saw the quality that Leicester were up against yesterday in the game at Anfield.

"But they're in a healthy position, aren't they?"
