The race for top four this season is fierce with Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal all in a battle to secure the final two top four spots as the two Manchester clubs remain at the top.

Despite Chelsea’s recent struggles, former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney believes Chelsea can make top four and he believes it will be Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool.

“I think Chelsea are a great team,” Rooney told Sky Sports. “I think they will make the top four definitely.

“I think obviously there seems to be a few issues with [Antonio] Conte but I’m sure they’ll get sorted out and they’ve got enough quality there to finish in the top four.

“You’d think so [that Manchester United will finish in the top four]. It’s tight, Tottenham have come into it, Liverpool.

“So it is going to be tight, two of those big six teams are going to miss out. I just think Chelsea, Man City, I fancy Liverpool and Man United.”
