Arsenal star Bernd Leno makes Premier League top four prediction - and it's bad news for Manchester United

Manchester United have a huge match at home to Manchester City on Wednesday evening as they look to try and make the Premier League top four.

The Old Trafford club enjoyed a turnaround in fortunes after the arrival of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in December but now things have well and truly gone sour.

That was clear from the weekend's 4-0 hammering at Everton which has put Manchester United behind the eight ball in the race for the top four.

Tottenham Hotspur lead the way on 70 points with Chelsea in fourth on 67, having played a game more than Arsenal (66) and Man Utd (64).

With United three points behind fourth with four matches left, Arsenal star Bernd Leno is backing his side and Spurs to make the cut for the Champions League places.

"I think at the end it will then be us and Tottenham," Leno told Sky Sports . "I believe in our quality and we have everything in our own hands. I don't mind about the other teams though, if we are in the top four everything is OK for me!"

Leno feels that Arsenal must pick up ten points from their remaining four matches. If they do that even four consecutive wins for the Red Devils would likely leave them short of the top four.

"We have to focus on every game. I think 10 points could be enough, but I don't know," Leno added.
