Leicester City hero Gerry Taggert believes next Sunday's clash with Liverpool could be decisive in the title race.
Having already thrashed Manchester City at the Etihad and beaten Arsenal at the Emirates, Brendan Rodgers' troops travel to Liverpool next Sunday bidding for a third Big Six scalp.
Taggert, who made 142 appearances for the club from 1998-2004, declared to the Daily Star: “Depth-wise this squad is a lot healthier than five years ago.
“In terms of all-round quality, right across the pitch, it's stronger and better than the one that won the Premier League.
“And the title race this year is the most open I can remember - definitely way more open than in 2016.
“Nobody's running away with it this time. Liverpool are up there, Tottenham are up here, Chelsea are hovering, and then you have Southampton and, of course, Leicester.
“The game at Liverpool can be a real marker for the Leicester team. They've already won at City and Arsenal. Can they now go to Anfield and beat the champions?
“If they do, then everybody must start taking them seriously as title contenders."
