Leicester are favourites for the Premier League title, but their title run-in is not as easy as it looks, says Jamie Redknapp. Claudio Ranieris side went five points clear at the top of the table with nine games remaining following a 1-0 win at Watford on Saturday Night Football, and are now evens with Sky Bet to win their first-ever top flight crown.They seemingly have the more favourable run-in compared to their challenging rivals, facing bottom-half sides Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Sunderland, Swansea and Everton before the end of the season, but Redknapp does not necessarily see the remaining fixtures as simple. Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri saw his team pull five points clear at Watford Leicesters remaining games Newcastle (H) Crystal Palace (A) Southampton (H) Sunderland (A) West Ham (H) Swansea (H) Man Utd (A) Everton (H) Chelsea (A) He said on Saturday Night Football: The fixtures are perfect for them it seems, but my worry with Leicester is that I actually think they function better when playing against the better sides. I think they sit back, counter and hit them with pace. But absolutely, five points clear, what a fantastic position to be in. But pressure does come on you, and at some stage pressure is going to come onto this Leicester side. Mahrez fires Foxes five clear Leicester moved five points clear at the top of the Premier League after Riyad Mahrezs strike Riyad Mahrez celebrates scoring Leicesters winner at Watford The win at Vicarage Road courtesy of Riyad Mahrezs strike means Leicester now have an 11-point gap between them and fifth place, and Redknapp is sure Champions League football has been secured.For the chasing pack in Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City, Redknapp sees more positives in the north London clubs form than Citys, despite their 4-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.Thats done, you can forget that, Leicester fans are in the Champions League next year, thats something they can look forward to. Raheem Sterling of Manchester City celebrates scoring his teams fourth goal against Villa with David Silva Leicester have lost three games all season. City, with 10 games to go, have got to go and win maybe eight or nine of those. Are they capable of that at the moment? I dont think so. I think the draw [in the north London derby] will certainly galvanise Arsenal, and Tottenham defensively are organised and have a really good manager. I think theyre the big dangers to Leicester. The title race run-in We analyse the title rivals run-ins to see who will emerge victorious... But you still have to think, as the bookies say, that Leicester are the favourites to win it.Sky Sports pundit Alan Smith agrees that Tottenham are second favourites for the title, which would be their first since 1961, and says the closer to the line Leicester get, the more pressure it will put on the team. Tottenham and Arsenal played out a 2-2 draw earlier on Saturday Smith said: I still like the look of Spurs, even after today. The draw has done Arsenal a lot of good. Spurs look a proper team, very together, and Id still see them as the second favourites, as the bookies say. If Leicester play with the freedom and maturity, and patience and experience, the closer to the line they get, the realisation of what they could achieve will get bigger.Who knows how that could impact the camp, but as it stands theyre looking great.

SAN DIEGO -- Adam Rosales is embracing his role as a utilityman for the San Diego Padres, because it brings valuable playing time.Rosales hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the sixth inning and finished with four RBI, and rookie Ryan Schimpf scored three times to lead San Diego to a 5-2 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night.Its great to get the consistent playing time, Rosales said. Thats what you want to do in the major leagues. You want to play every day. Im happy with the role Im playing as a utility player, but its really nice to get those consistent at-bats. You can make quicker adjustments when you play every day.The start of the game was delayed 70 minutes by rain.

You never know how things are going to affect you, but the hit-by-a-pitch and the walk came back to really hurt me tonight. I was honesty really pleased with staying composed the way I did in those two innings, coming back and striking guys out to get through the inning. But overall pretty pleased with it.UP NEXTDiamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke (12-7, 4.42 ERA) is scheduled to start the finale of the three-game series.
