Ian Wright delivers verdict on Champions League battle between Man United, Chelsea and Leicester

Ian Wright has shared his view on the top-four after Chelsea took a huge step towards securing Champions League football this week.

The Blues sit four points ahead of Leicester City and Manchester United, having played a game extra than the Foxes.

Frank Lampard's side returned to winning ways on Tuesday night with a 1-0 win over Norwich City, whilst Manchester United travel to Crystal Palace and Leicester host Sheffield United on Thursday night.

Chelsea's next Premier League trip takes them to Liverpool, whilst United and Leicester hold significantly kinder fixtures before facing one another on the final day of the season.

United were held to a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford on Monday, something which prevented Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men from jumping up to third in the Premier League.

And according to Wright, it will be Chelsea who will be playing in the Champions League next season.

The former Arsenal man is hoping Lampard’s side remain inside the top-four between now and the end of the season due to the immense pressure they have been under.

He told Match of the Day: “I don’t know. I’m going to go with Chelsea, I hope they do stay because they’ve been under immense pressure.”
