Well of course he's perfectly capable of winning, especially since he sits at number 1. And I wish him the best, but I really hope it's Aronian or Caruana.

I hope Aronian wins, but I think it'll be Karjakin. Nothing against Vishy, but another Anand-Carlsen would be boring as all hell.

Anand doing all the right things in a tournament..a draw or 3 to keep steady

,keep winning matches then a loss in between to take the pressure off etc.

besides his vast experience counts and against a Carlsen who is in form,

only he can snatch a win once in while compared to others if Carlsen is

in-form..

I believe Anand can win the Candidates. Success do happen on the 3rd try.

Anand is a great player and it's certainly possible that he can be the candidate again. For him personally, it will be a phenomenal achievement to be the Candidate again - more than 20 years after he faced Garry Kasparov in New York. However, I don't believe he will be able to get the title from Carlsen. I might be wrong, but I think Carlsen is stronger. He also has some psychological advantage over Anand. But, like I said, everything is possible.

 

However, let us not rush the events too fast. There are still some more rounds to go and a lot of things can happen.
