Redknapp Confidence For Tottenham

In the nail-biting chase for a Champions League place next season,the Gunners and Manchester City as been targeted by Spurs boss as the weakest links.

And he will not budge from his prediction the Premier League crown is heading to Old Trafford for a 12th time with Chelsea breathing down Manchester United's neck.

Spurs can go one better than their fourth-placed finish in the last campaign.

Redknapp "Man City are a good side but it's not impossible to finish above them again.

"Arsenal are hot favourites for third but again it is not impossible - even though we are eight points behind.

"Tottenham are not going to finish above Man United. A 13-point lead? You can't give them that kind of lead.

"And if Rooney hits form United will win the league.

"I would never write off Chelsea. After the first 10 games of the season, you would have given them the title. But they hit a blip and questions were being asked about finishing in the top four - not now."

Spurs have been up there all season despite getting hit by a string of injuries but Redknapp added: "When we get Gareth Bale and Luka Modric back we've got a good team.

"We're good without them but we are better with them because they are our strongest players."

Redknapp regrets not splashing the cash on Dutch midfielder Mark van Bommel, revealing: "Bommel was on a free. He'd have been a good signing.

"He gives you experience. He's been there, played in the Champions League final last year and the World Cup final. He's a proper player."
