The top of English Premier League standings, Leicester City could have won the league, but the players must prove themselves able to cope with the pressure to realize the hope, said Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal.
Van Gaal told The Independent newspaper that they are favorites as they pulled five points clear of the others, but the moment that they have different champions.
Van Gaal also said that they are more or less in place now because they want to continue to lead. Could it be? Why not? Perhaps their players can handle that, but we do not know and that is the issue that must be answered either by Leicester and Tottenham.

| Van Gaal challenge Leicester to prove that they can handle the pressure |
Leicester has a difference five points above Spurs and Arsenal with Manchester City and Manchester United, scattered on the order of six to each odds 12 points.
Van Gaal also said that this does not prove anything about the personalities on both teams. He did not know them so he could not judge. However, there will be a moment when they have to win.
As quoted by Reuters, the Dutchman said that for now, everything is okay and fine. However the manager (Leicester, Claudio Ranieri) has talked about being a champion, so now will depend on their heads. But many players can cope with it.
