Ex-Spurs boss Redknapp: Arsenal, Chelsea NOT title contenders

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp feels there's three genuine contenders for the Premier League title this season.

Liverpool currently sit six points clear of Spurs and seven of Manchester City.

And Redknapp believes it is a three-horse race.

“I think it's a three horse race," he told talkSPORT. “Liverpool are the favourites now which is a big turnaround.

“But Tottenham are in great form at the moment and they are genuine title contenders.

“Spurs are still in it, you can't write them off. They are bang there, the way they are playing at the moment.

“I can't see anybody else getting into it.

“I watched Arsenal yesterday and they are nowhere near in my opinion.

“I know they've had injuries, but at the back they are still very poor.

“And Chelsea are just so reliant on Eden Hazard. Without him you couldn't really see them challenging, they're still short of a frontman.

“So really, I think there are three runners and I think it will be very tight."
