Wayne Rooney believes north London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham will struggle to finish in the top four of the Premier League this season.
With 12 games of the 2018-19 campaign remaining, the race to qualify for next season’s Champions League is on with six points separating sixth and third place.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal face a battle to secure the final two top four spots. And Rooney feels Spurs and Arsenal may fall away.
“I think Chelsea are a great team,” Rooney told Sky Sports. “I think they will make the top four definitely.
“I think obviously there seems to be a few issues with [Antonio] Conte but I’m sure they’ll get sorted out and they’ve got enough quality there to finish in the top four.
“You’d think so [that Manchester United will finish in the top four]. It’s tight, Tottenham have come into it, Liverpool.
“So it is going to be tight, two of those big six teams are going to miss out. I just think Chelsea, Man City, I fancy Liverpool and Man United.”
