Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says they have the inside-running
on their immediate rivals because they're still to face Manchester
United, Chelsea and Liverpool!
In his column for The Sun, Redknapp explained: "No,
it’s not the first case of sunstroke this year, it’s my genuine
belief that the end of the season is by far the best time to play
the Big Four.
"Think about it. We have to play Liverpool at Anfield on the
last day of the season, Sunday May 24. It might be the stuff of
nightmares for fans but a look at my calendar and I see the
Champions League final is three days later.
"Now, if Liverpool are involved in that then there is more than
a fair bet Rafa Benitez is going to muck about with his team and
throw in a few different names because he has one eye on the
Champions League final.
"We have to go to Old Trafford next month and, luckily, the
following week are the Champions League semi-finals.
"Who would bet against United being involved in those games? Not
me. Alex Ferguson might not fancy risking his very best players to
play Spurs when he is so close to such an important game.
"And if he has won his next three or four games before we go up
there, what’s his priority going to be?"
