Paul Gascoigne predicts Manchester United and Man City Premier League finishes

Former Newcastle United and Tottenham star Paul Gascoigne believes there is only one winner when it comes to the 2019/20 Premier League title race.

Last season, Spurs were in the mix with both Manchester City and Liverpool last term until the turn of the year when the top two pulled away.

Chelsea secured third, Mauricio Pochettino's men ended up finishing fourth, while City won the league title by one point and Manchester United ended the campaign in sixth.

Whilst Gascoigne feels that Spurs will be able to pull off a top-four repeat, he cannot see past Man City winning their third league title in succession under Pep Guardiola.

The former England international also feels that United will make the top four but he says that one London-based side will be right on their heels.

Gascoigne told the MEN: "Man City have got players to replace every position on the field. Tottenham don't. Mauricio Pochettino needs to buy again in the next window and get a couple of players in.

"Liverpool are looking strong as well but I cannot see anyone stopping Man City. They are just going to keep on buying and it's quite scary.

"I think it will be Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United (in the top four). I think Arsenal are playing good football as well."

Gascoigne was speaking to the MEN to promote Premier Sports' coverage of the Serie A.

Premier Sports will screen up to six live Serie A matches each week including Juventus v Napoli and Lazio v Roma this weekend. See premiersports.com for details of a Special Serie A offer.
