Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson is convinced the top four can be broken this season.
"In my view the Premier League is now split into three groups," he said ahead of the clash with Fulham tomorrow.
"There are those at the top who are looking to get into the Champions League and that group is going to get bigger and bigger.
"Then you have those sides looking to sneak into Europe and finally the others, whose aim is to be in the top flight the following season."
