Redknapp tips Chelsea success

Tottenham team will struggle to overturn Chelsea in the battle for a top four finish this season.

After midweek Premier League wins for both sides, Spurs are just three points behind the Blues with the two teams still to meet at Stamford Bridge in April.

But Redknapp feels the strength of the defending champions' squad will prove the difference in the run-in, especially after the recent captures of Fernando Torres and David Luiz.

The Spurs boss insisted: "For us to finish above them would be a real feat. I would not write Chelsea off from winning the championship. Although Manchester United look as though they keep getting results they are not playing as well as they have done in the past.

"They are red-hot favourites but Chelsea have won the championship and have Torres to come in. They could go on a run and be a big danger to everyone."
