The advantage Tottenham could have over Chelsea and Manchester United in Champions League battle

Harry Kane believes Tottenham Hotspur hold a clear advantage over Chelsea and Manchester United in the race with their rivals still involved in European competitions.

Spurs return to Premier League action on June 19, kicking off their return with a crucial fixture against Manchester United at home.

The Friday night clash will be shown live on Sky Sports at 8:15pm but won't be available on free-to-view TV.

Tottenham come into the match four points behind Manchester United, who are three places ahead of them in fifth.

However, a win for Jose Mourinho's side, who are boosted by the return of Kane, Heung-Min Son and Steven Bergwijn, would put them within a point of their rivals, with eight games to go.

With Manchester United still in the Europa League and Chelsea competing in the Champions League, Kane believes their European exploits could give Tottenham a boost as they bid to finish in the top four.

Kane said, speaking from the Paddy Power golf shootout: "From our point of view, we're not in any other competitions, so we've got nine games to concentrate on trying to pick up as many points as we can and get into the Champions League spot, so our focus is on one competition."
