Today we're asking: Just how good are Leicester City? Will they finish in the Premier League's top four?

Patrick Jones: What goes up must come down, Foxes will finish strong, but top 4 is a big ask

Ben Moore: As long as we keep up this brand of attacking fun football, then I'm happy. Top of the league, what a time to be alive!

Ilyas Kassim: If Jamie Vardy maintains his form & Chelsea's poor form countinue, they will surely finish top four.

Over the weekend, Rory McIlroy won the World Tour Championship in Dubai to finish the season as Europe's number one golfer.  

"This is my time to capitalise on my career. The next 10, 15 years is my time," he said afterwards. 

Here's BBC Sport golf correspondent Iain Carter's take on things: "He is the most naturally gifted golfer on the planet, but to turn that into domination he has to harness a work ethic to match that of the duo who narrowly lead him in the rankings," he writes.

Plenty of talking points from the weekend's football action in a season where Leicester topping the Premier League is less surprising than a Chelsea victory.

Kelly Cates and Ian Wright took your calls on 606 and discussed how Jurgen Klopp helped Liverpool feel all warm inside on a freezing day in Manchester.

Download the 606 podcast here.

Kasper Schmeichel explains how Leicester have found themselves at the top of the table, Trevor Sinclair talks about pressing football, and you can find out who the only team not to score from a set piece in the Premier League are.

Northampton back Ben Foden can end his two-year England exile, according to Saints director of rugby Jim Mallinder.

The 30-year-old, whose last of 34 Test appearances came in November 2013, helped Saints defeat Glasgow in the European Champions Cup on Saturday.

"I saw him talking about England and trying to get back into that team," Mallinder told BBC Radio Northampton.

"He just needs a few more performances like against Glasgow and hopefully the people will be looking at him."

But before then we'll also be hearing from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, whose side play Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League on Tuesday. 

He's due to speak to the media at about 12:30 GMT, so stay tuned Gunners fans...

Chelsea would normally arrive at a Champions League location the day before the game, however due to the 5 hour flight from London, the club arrived on Sunday evening - 48 hours before kick-off. This gives extra recovery & preparation time to the players after such a long journey. 

The last time Chelsea played in Israel was in 2001. Just a month after the 9/11 attacks. Back then 6 players chose not to travel for the game for security reasons.

The game will not be played in Tel Aviv, but in the northern port city of Haifa where fumes of local petroleum refining are very evident in the breeze. Haifa is very close to the borders with Syria & Lebanon.

England fly-half George Ford has said he is looking forward to an "exciting era" under new head coach Eddie Jones.

The former Australia and Japan boss last week signed a four-year contract to replace Stuart Lancaster.

Ford, likely to be a key part of Jones' plans in the Six Nations, said: "I'm sure all the English boys are trying to put their best foot forward.

"He obviously did a great job with Japan in the World Cup and he has a great CV which speaks for itself."

Today we're asking: Just how good are Leicester City? Will they finish in the Premier League's top four?

Michael Byrne: The league doesn't lie. At the moment they are the best team in the PL. There are no big clubs and small clubs, only points count.

Grobbelrevell: They're doing very well and it's genuinely refreshing to see, but no, they won't. It'll remain a great season for them though.

MUFC_RP: They have only played one 'big team'.... Let's see where they are after their next few fixtures.

It's unlikely to have escaped your attention that Leicester are top of the Premier League... 

And when you think the Foxes were bottom of the table in April - facing almost certain relegation - it's fair to say it's been quite the turnaround. 

Is it all down to Claudio Ranieri's tinkering? Not so, says Kasper Schmeichel. 

The Leicester 'keeper has been speaking to BBC Sport's Chris Bevan about the club's remarkable rise, and you can check it out over here.

"I was close to dying. At some stage the body says 'no, enough is enough'."

And the county game also flourished, with total crowd numbers breaking the 1.5m mark for the first time since 1997.

The 36-year-old Italy midfielder had been linked with a move to Inter, as well as Mancini's old club Manchester City. , external

Rory McIlroy believes Andy Sullivan would be a "huge asset" to the European team at next year's Ryder Cup after pipping him to the World Tour Championship title in Dubai.

Sullivan, 28, is third on the European points list after collecting the biggest cheque of his career for second place.

"Andy is some player. I said at the start of the year when we played together in Dubai how fantastic he was. He's got all the shots," said McIlroy.

Right then, it's mid-November and Leicester sit proudly atop of the Premier League.

Don't take offence Foxes fans but that's kind of weird isn't it?

Andy Murray does not "put enough back" into British tennis, according to former Great Britain Davis Cup captain David Lloyd

"The British players in recent years who have been good - Tim Henman, Greg Rusedski, Andy - they don’t in my opinion put enough back," Lloyd is quoted as saying in the Daily Mail., external

"They would say “Well, we’re winning this and winning that”. But I don’t mean that. I mean putting your heart and soul into it, a passion that is bigger than the person and even bigger than the game.

"It’s about getting a kid who wants to play for Manchester United to want to play tennis instead. Andy is in such an incredible position with power to do that but he doesn’t. Tim is on the board of the LTA but he’s not out there grabbing people and that disappoints me."

Ooh, controversial stuff.
