Chelsea tipped to finish in the top four

Former Chelsea and now Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has tipped the west London side to finish in the top for this season.

The Blues, who are currently seated at the 10th spot on the league table have won back-to-back games in the league for the first time since October.

Despite the wins, they are still 11 points behind Tottenham Hotspurs who occupy fourth place.

But Conte in a statement said Chelsea shouldn’t be ruled out of the running just yet.

“Brentford also are having a fantastic season, then there is Newcastle, Liverpool and I don’t forget Chelsea.

“This season will be an important race for all the teams involved.

“Chelsea won their last Premier League with me. It can happen. But it means this type of situation, Liverpool’s situation, underlines the difficulty of the Premier League,” he said.
