Ahead of his side's clash with Leicester City, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes that the opponents can win this season's Premier League title.

The 52-year-old said that the worst that could happen for LeicesterCity was to finish the season in the top six, which according to him, would also be a great ending.

Mourinho, however, feared that the second-placed Leicester could lose their top scorer Jamie Vardy to one of the big clubs, the Daily Express reported.

Lavishing praise on Vardy, the Chelsea boss said that the forward was very fast in attacking the space behind defenders.

Chelsea, who progressed through to the knockout stages of the Champions League following their 2-0 win over Porto, have been struggling with poor run in this season of the league.

The Mourinho-managed club are currently languishing down to the 15th spot in league standings and will lock horns with Leicester on December 15.
