Paul Scholes makes Premier League top four prediction - admits he fears for Man Utd

Paul Scholes has tipped Arsenal and Tottenham to finishes strongly and potentially claim a top four place in the Premier League this season.

This would of course mean that Manchester United and Chelsea miss out on the prize of qualifying for the Champions League next season, what with Liverpool and Manchester City running away with the top two places in the table.

Scholes believes Arsenal and Spurs have a more favourable run-in - with only Tottenham facing one of the top six sides from now until May.

United and Chelsea on the other hand have some very tough fixtures, and former Red Devils midfielder Scholes fears the Old Trafford club could just miss out on a top-four finish.

Scholes told the Premier League Show: "I think looking at the fixtures you'd be fancying Arsenal.

"But Watford away, Wolves away difficult, Leicester away difficult, Burnley away – they're all difficult games at this stage of the season especially when the prize is so big.

"Even look at United's fixtures, tough fixtures.

"I think they'll be okay against West Ham but you've got Everton away, City at home, Chelsea at home, the last two [against Huddersfield and Cardiff City] they should win.

"Chelsea as well have Liverpool and Man United away. Tottenham have City away but other than that you'd fancy Tottenham to finish strongly."
