Yaya Toure claims five-horse Premier League title race

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure believes that as many as five clubs can win the Premier League this season.

Only seven points separate fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur from leaders Chelsea in the standings, and Toure claims to be fascinated by the unpredictable nature of England's top flight.

He told The Sun: "It's fascinating. This year it won't come down to many points, it's like a game of leapfrog.

"We're ahead and then Arsenal overtake and then Chelsea as they beat us. There's also Liverpool and you shouldn't forget Tottenham. It's going to be close, very, very close."

The Sky Blues host Stoke City at the Etihad Stadium at 3pm today.
