Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says Dynamo Kiev did them no favours dumping Manchester City out of the Europa League.
Redknapp wanted City to remain in the Euro competition so they run into a fixture pile-up as they slug it out with Tottenham for fourth place in the Premier League.
He revealed: "That was the result we didn't want but City are still in the FA Cup so that will give them extra games.
"It will be between us for fourth - and like last season I can see it going down to the wire.
"Arsenal have a fantastic chance now of winning the league as they will only be playing once a week, United will be there and Chelsea have come back strong.
"It's now about which team can put a run together and claim that final Champions League place. In all honesty, the favourites are Man City.
"You look at the money they've been able to spend on players, they've got £30million-plus players not even starting."
