Tottenham manager Antonio Conte makes Arsenal prediction amid Man City Premier League title race

Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has predicted Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United to finish as the Premier League's top three this season - although not necessarily in that order.

The Gunners currently sit at the top of the pile, two points ahead of City and 14 clear of United in third, although the Red Devils have two games in hand on their local rivals and one in hand on the league leaders. Now, Spurs manager Conte has admitted that he can't see the Lillywhites breaking into the top three despite only being one point behind Erik ten Hag's men, albeit having played two extra league matches this term.

Speaking after his side defeated Nottingham Forest 3-1, Conte said “Yeah, but you know very well the race for a place in Champions League will be really, really tough because you see the competitors.

"You see there are many, many teams involved and I think in this moment there is only one place available because City and Arsenal they are fighting to win the Premier League and United I think they are showing they have great continuity of good results.

“I think there is one place and there are many teams, many important teams that are in this race. We have to try to do our best and for sure I repeat for us to finish in the top four is like to win the Premier League.

"It happen last season and I spoke about miracle. I continue to say maybe this season it be much more difficult, much more difficult because Liverpool is a competitor in this race.”
