Rio Ferdinand says six teams are in the Premier League title race this season.
Manchester United's draw with Liverpool at the weekend gave Leicester City the chance to go top and they saw off Chelsea on Tuesday with an impressive victory, before Manchester City moved to the summit with a win over Aston Villa the following day.
Currently, six points separate the top six, with most teams having a game in hand on Leicester.
Ferdinand said: “If you look at the league, you’ve got Man United, Man City, Tottenham (plus Liverpool and Leicester)… I think down to Everton. You can’t discount Everton playing a part in this because of the manager.
“Ancelotti knows what it takes to win a league. He’s got a very good team there, the squad depth probably isn’t what he would like but I think you’ve got to look at down to Everton.”
