Harry Redknapp believes his former club Tottenham will finish in the top four, and can even still WIN the Premier League this season.

The Lilywhites were Leicester City’s biggest rivals in last season’s title race, keeping pace with the Foxes for much of the campaign – but ending the season 11 points off top spot.

Many expected them to be fighting for silverware again this term, but a slow start to the season sees them in fifth place after 15 games – 10 points behind leaders Chelsea.

They missed the chance to move into the top four on Sunday, losing to Manchester United when a win would have taken them above Manchester City on goal difference, but Redknapp insists Spurs can still secure a top four spot – and even win the league!

Speaking to Jim White on talkSPORT, the 69-year-old said: “I love [Mauricio] Pochettino, he’s a very clever guy.

“I wouldn’t swap that group for any other group. I think they’ll make the [top] four.

“I still think they can win it! I think it’s still wide open.”

Chelsea and Arsenal, in first and second, are starting to pull away from the chasing pack – with the Blues currently six points clear of third placed Liverpool.

They are on a run of nine consecutive wins – with only two goals conceded in that period – and they could realistically see out the rest of 2016 without losing a game.

Matches against Sunderland, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Stoke precede their first match of 2017, which is against Spurs, but Redknapp does not believe the Blues are running away with the title.

In fact, he insists there is NO team who can claim to be head and shoulders above every other side in the league.

Redknapp continued: “Chelsea are going great, they’ve been fantastic. But they’re not a certainty to win it. I couldn’t sit here and say there’s one team who’s on a completely different level to the rest.

“Man City, we felt at the start of the year, would be that team maybe, but they’re certainly not looking like it at the moment.

“Arsenal are playing very well, they look excellent at the moment, but I still think Tottenham will be close.”
