Steven Gerrard Picks His Premier League Top Four This Season
Feb 14, 2017 at 9:41 PM
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard predicted that Arsenal and Manchester United will miss out on a top-four finish in the Premier League this season.
Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal make up the Premier League top four at the moment.
Liverpool are a point behind Arsenal in fifth, while United are two points behind the Gunners in sixth.
Former Liverpool midfielder Gerrard has predicted the Gunners and the Red Devils to end the 2016-17 campaign outside the Premier League top four.
“I am going to say Arsenal are going to drop out, and I am going to say United have left themselves too much to do,” Gerrard said
Chelsea are eight points clear at the top of the Premier League table at the moment, and it is hard to see the Blues collapse in the final weeks of the season.
Antonio Conte insists six teams are still capable of winning the title, despite his Chelsea side moving 10 points clear of their nearest challenger.
The Blues could only secure a point at Turf Moor against Burnley on Sunday but, with Tottenham losing to Liverpool, Conte’s side in fact extended their lead in the title race.
And Conte believes that with 13 games remaining, six teams can still challenge for the title.
The Italian said: “It’s important in every game to try and win and I think we did that today.
“We weren’t able because I repeat we found a strong team very tough at home.
“It’s not easy to play Burnley but for sure there is a bit of a disappointment to take only one point.
“We know this. Now that there are 13 games before the end of the season and for sure we know the way is a long way but it’s important to continue to work in this way.”
City’s recent form suggests that they should be able to claim a Champions League place, while Tottenham are going quite strong.
Liverpool’s performances and results over the past few weeks have been disappointing, and they could end the season outside the top four.
United are in sixth place at the moment, but Jose Mourinho’s side are picking up momentum and could sneak into the top four.
