Former Arsenal man Martin Keown is already backing Chelsea, Tottenham, Arsenal and Manchester City to all finish in the top four this season in the Premier League table.
He is backing Chelsea to win the Premier League title and Arsenal to finish third behind Tottenham this season.
The blues are the heavy favorites to win the title this term after their sparkling form under new manager Antonio Conte this season.
The Stamford Bridge club are currently flying high at the top of the League table and are 10 points clear of second-placed Tottenham Hotspur after the latest round of fixtures.
Spurs are currently second ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool.
However, Keown is expecting to see the Reds miss out on a spot in the top four, with Manchester City finishing fourth.
The Former Arsenal defender speaking on talkSPORT on Monday said he think Tottenham don’t get enough credit.
“They’ve been excellent up until the weekend. They’ll make it in (the top four). Arsenal will do as well.
“Liverpool fans are thinking ‘are they going to make it’? I think Liverpool will miss out.“Chelsea first, Tottenham second, Arsenal in third and Man City fourth.”
The Gunners ended up second in the Premier League table last season after pipping Tottenham on the final day of the season.
Chelsea on the other hand ended up 10th after a terrible campaign following the sacking of Jose Mourinho back in December 2015.
Antonio Conte is shining presently amidst his peers in England, and one good factor for his success is having superb players – one of which is Kante.
Henry Praises Kante
Frenchman Thierry Henry heaps praise on N’Golo Kante following the midfielder’s strong start to life at the Stamford Bridge club.
Kante has been a regular fixture in Conte’s team this season and has earned plenty of praise for his performances for Antonio Conte’s men to help his side move to the top of the Premier League table.
The Frenchman has started all but one of Chelsea’s Premier League games this term to help Conte’s men build a 10-point lead at the top of the table.
Kante earned new admirers last season as he helped to inspire Leicester City to the Premier League title under his former manager Claudio Ranieri.
The midfielder has continued his fine form for Chelsea this term, establishing himself as one of the club’s most important players.
And former Arsenal forward Thierry Henry has lavished praise on Kante for his brilliant displays for the blues so far this season.
He Has Zero Flaws
Henry writing in his column for The Sun said: “Kante reads mistakes before they’ve been made. He reads the bounce of the ball before the ball knows where it’s going!
“People talk about a striker’s sixth sense in the area. N’Golo has that all over the park. It’s why Chelsea are unstoppable.
“He is everywhere, his stats are amazing: Top of tackles, interceptions, distance run . . . I reckon he could ref the game too.
“He has zero flaws. I keep thinking, surely he’s going to lose the ball this week? Nope. Or get angry and argue with the ref? Nope. Maybe he’ll be tired? Nope.”
