West Ham United boss Avram Grant rates Manchester City as title contenders.
The Hammers face City this weekend in a crunch match for both teams.
Grant told whufc.com: "I think they can win the league, especially this season. I don't know the statistics but normally the champions only lose two or three games a season, but I think a lot has happened this season. The top teams are not so consistent in terms of quality and picking up points.
"Any of the first six teams can take the title. I would not be surprised if Tottenham take it because they are playing very good football. I would be surprised if Manchester City take it and of course there are the other top four."
