Jamie Carragher gives Premier League top four prediction on Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs

Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has given his verdict on the battle for the Premier League top four.

Manchester United suffered a humiliating 4-0 defeat at Everton on Sunday but their rivals also slipped up with Spurs losing to Man City and Arsenal defeated by Crystal Palace

Chelsea moved into fourth place on Monday night as they drew 2-2 with Burnley and after the game, Carragher offered his thoughts on the top four picture.

Despite being level on points with Chelsea with a game more to play, Carragher believes third-place Spurs are guaranteed a place in the top four.

Elsewhere, Carragher feels that Sunday's clash between Man Utd and Chelsea at Old Trafford is critical to deciding the other top-four spot.

"If Chelsea would have got those extra two points there would have been a huge deficit, certainly for Manchester United being five points behind (in that scenario)," Carragher told Sky Sports.

"United have a game but it's Man City at home so it's not easy.

"I still think Spurs are there. I look at that now and a lot is riding on Man United vs Chelsea.

"If Man United come out of this week with four points it's great for them. The vital game is the one against United for Chelsea.

"I keep changing my mind on who will get in but not on Spurs."
