The North London giants sit in sixth place and are eight points off the top four, while Manchester United are in seventh and are nine points off Manchester City in fourth. But despite there still being 26 games left in the season, former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has admitted that he doesn’t see the two sides finishing in the top four. Redknapp also added that he believes Tottenham have a chance but it’s a slim window and one that they need to take.

"Tottenham have it all on now to get in the top four this year. The only thing now in their favour is that Arsenal looks so poor. Chelsea are doing great, they’re going to be challenging. Leicester are going to be bang in there. But you’re looking at Arsenal — and Manchester United — and wondering if they are going to make it this year. I can see both of those two not making the top four unless there is a big improvement," he told The Sun.

Much like their London rivals, Tottenham have also struggled to find their footing this season and are on a dire run of five games without a win in the league. Furthermore, their performances have seen them win their first game on the road since January just before the international break. But even that streak in the league is still ongoing and it has added pressure on Mauricio Pochettino.

"When you looked at it he had certainly put a shift in. It’s not gone well but I think he’s a good kid and a good trainer. His form has dipped. He hit such high standards a year or two before. If he can get back to that form again then that would be a major boost," he said.
