Redknapp predicts City scrap
Spurs boss sees City as European rivals
Harry Redknapp feels the fight for fourth place in the Premier League has become a two-horse race between Tottenham and Manchester City.
Redknapp's Spurs have been battling Chelsea for the final UEFA Champions League spot of late, but the reigning champions displaced them in fourth on Tuesday after a 2-1 victory over Manchester United.
City once looked on course for title success but a recent dip in form has left them just two points ahead of the Blues and three ahead of Tottenham having played a game more than both teams.
Spurs boss Redknapp believes Chelsea are certain of European qualification and feels the fight for fourth place will come down to his side and Roberto Mancini's City.
Such a battle would be a repeat of last year's contest between the two, when Spurs pipped City to the spot to secure Champions League football for the first time in their history.
Redknapp said: "I don't see Chelsea not being in the top four. I felt before the Liverpool game, which they lost, that they could still win the league.
Strong
"If they had beaten Liverpool that day they would have been in a very strong position.
"They are a very strong outfit. I still think Tottenham can be in the top four, and I think it's between ourselves and Man City now."
Redknapp has been impressed with his squad's ability to juggle their league commitments with European football this season.
And the manager is confident his players are good enough to cope with what could be a hectic run-in if they beat AC Milan at White Hart Lane on Wednesday.
He added: "For us to be where we are in the league and to have had such a great season in the Champions League is a fantastic achievement so it hasn't affected us at all - we have managed to fight on both fronts and have done great."
