Michael Duff says Leicester City will win the Championship this season and are a stronger side than last year's runaway champions Burnley.
Duff's Swansea City go in search of a fifth straight league victory when they host the Foxes on Saturday.
The Swansea boss says a meeting with Leicester, who have won 10 of their 11 league games this term, is "probably the toughest game of the season".
"I think they will win the league," Duff said.
"I think they are better than Burnley last year, which probably tells you everything."
Leicester are top of the Championship having scored 23 league goals and conceded only six so far this season.
