Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp suggests it will be a survival of the fittest for which club will make up the top four this season.
With Manchester United and Manchester City in control of the top-two places, the race is on between Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United and Redknapp feels it will be the squads that are in the best shape during the cluttered schedule between now and season's end who will triumph.
"Four teams are scrapping it out and there's not a lot in it with seven games to go, us and Arsenal level, five points to Chelsea and Newcastle.
"Now we play Saturday and Monday, a long trip up to Sunderland, Norwich at home - two tough games. Everyone will be juggling their resources.
"It will be the survival of the fittest.""The key is finishing above Chelsea and Newcastle as well," he told the club's official website.
