Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp believes that the top five teams in the Premier League are competing amongst themselves to qualify for next season’s Champions League.

The former Portsmouth boss says that Liverpool’s loss to strugglers West Ham on Sunday makes a top-four finish unlikely for the sixth-placed Reds.

“The top five now will be the top five at the end of the season for sure,” Redknapp said, according to The Mirror.

“With Liverpool losing, it is five teams looking for Champions League football next year. It is so important for us and we want to get it again.”

Spurs are currently in fifth place, eight points above Liverpool with a game in hand.
