Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says his biggest battle will be to finish in the top four – then tried to up the pressure on Arsenal and Manchester City.
Redknapp claims big-spending City are vulnerable and manager Roberto Mancini will feel the heat after breaking the bank in an attempt to get into the Champions League.
And he insisted beleaguered Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal should be considered title favourites because Manchester United are still in three competitions.
Redknapp said: “All along we have said we want to make the top four. But we can’t all do it. Someone will drop out. It’s not easy.
“Arsenal have a great chance of winning the championship now, the other three teams. Manchester United, Chelsea both have these Champions League games now. Arsenal are of out of everything except for the league.
“What an opportunity they have. They are not playing Saturday then midweek. Manchester City have a cup semi-final to come, against Manchester United as well.
“If Manchester United can go on and win the league now, with these games coming up, that would be an amazing feat.
“I think you have to say Arsenal have the most incredible opportunity ever.
“They are going to play Saturday-Saturday-Saturday . . everybody else will be playing Saturday-midweek. In massive games. They have an unbelievable chance.
“We’ve been in the top four or five all season. It’s tough, fighting on two fronts.”
Turning to the visit of West Ham, he warned: “We’ll have to be at our best against them.”
