Graeme Souness believes six Premier League teams can still win the title following Chelsea's 2-0 defeat at Tottenham.
A double from Dele Alli ended Chelsea's 13-game winning streak, leaving them just five points clear of second-placed Liverpool and 10 clear of Manchester United in sixth.
And speaking post-match on Sky Sports, Souness insists that even United are in with a shout of lifting the trophy and claimed that if Jose Mourinho's side can go on a run, they will take some stopping.

Souness believes that Manchester United can still challenge for the Premier League title
Souness said: 'Manchester United are a big football club and I always feel with them if they can get on a roll and get a bit of momentum and if they get into any run at all it’ll take some stopping.
'It’s taken Jose a bit longer than I thought it would have taken him to find out about his players but he’s come up with a system that’s working now and I think you have to include them.
'Ten points appears a lot but you lose a couple of games and you get an injury to a key player or you get a couple of decisions go against you and the whole mood in the camp changes. I’d include all of them [top six] in the frame.'
Despite losing in the league for the first time since their heavy 3-0 defeat by Arsenal back at the end of September, Souness insists that the Tottenham result won't impact Chelsea negatively at all.
Dele Alli scored twice to end Chelsea's 13-game winning run in the league
It was a hard night for Chelsea but Souness believes the result will not affect them
The 63-year-old added: 'People will be thinking… Tottenham have beat Chelsea tonight. Are Chelsea going to wake up tomorrow morning with a seed of doubt in their head? No.
'They knew they were playing against a really good team tonight and there’s no disgrace in Chelsea coming here and getting beat.
'So Chelsea’s confidence… will it be dented? I don’t even think it’ll put a scratch on it. They’ve just gone winning 13 games [and] they will feel tomorrow morning and starting at the weekend, I know it’s the FA Cup, the following weekend that we can go another 13 games.'
Chelsea play Peterborough in the FA Cup on Saturday afternoon before they return to league action away to Leicester.
And they will look to get back to winning ways straight away against Claudio Ranieri's side as they then face Hull, Liverpool and Arsenal in their next three Premier League games after Leicester.
Jose Mourinho's United side have won their last seven league games in the league
