Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood believes Chelsea will finish in the Premier League top four this season.
The ex-Spurs boss made the bold prediction on talkSPORT on Tuesday morning, insisting Frank Lampard's side will finish above both Arsenal and Manchester United at the end of the season.
Chelsea are the outside favourites for a place in the top-four, with many from within the game tipping Arsenal to secure a return to Europe's premier competition next season due to the firepower Unai Emery has at his disposal.
But following United's 1-1 with the Gunners on Monday night, Sherwood has thrown his backing behind Lampard and his side.
"Well out of those two I’d say Chelsea!," the ex-Spurs boss replied when asked who out of Manchester United and Arsenal will finish in the top-four.
"Frank is rebuilding as well. It’s a real shame but it’s a transition period for all three clubs.
"I would say, Tottenham included, come out from Man City and Liverpool and they’ve all gone the wrong way.
"No one is getting closer; it's difficult getting closer but I think they’ve all deteriorated somewhat.
"It’s definitely looking like a two horse race now.
"To answer your question: I would probably say, at the death, Man United when they get some bodies fit.
"I'm not being biased [against Arsenal]; it’s 50/50 if I’m being honest. I wouldn’t want to put any of my pounds on it and I wouldn’t want to put your money on it.
"But I just think it might be Manchester United with the pace they have and their counter attack, and I think it might be a bit more solid with their defence.
"I think they might just edge it with what they’ve got on the counter and what they’ve got defensively. And the goalkeeper is top-drawer."
