Harry Redknapp conjures odds on Tottenham title chances… and rules out Man Utd and Chelsea
HARRY REDKNAPP reckons Tottenham have a 10/1 chance of winning the Premier League - while ruling Manchester United and Chelsea out of the race.
Tottenham sit third in the Premier League table and six points off leaders Liverpool.
Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at Manchester City on Wednesday means the gap between first and third remained the same.
But with over half the season gone now, former Spurs boss Redknapp reckons City are Liverpool’s biggest rivals for the title - although Spurs cannot be totally discounted yet.
“The momentum last night swung Manchester City’s way,” he told talkSPORT.

Tottenham are not completely out of it
“It was do or die for them. If they hadn’t have won…
“Tottenham are not completely out of it.
“It’s not impossible for them. But Liverpool are still in prime position.
“I’d still rather be four points clear. It’s a handy little lead. They’re still favourites in my book.”
As for the rest of the Big Six, Redknapp reckons Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal have no chance of claiming the title.
And the I’m a Celebrity winner offered his own odds on the championship battle.
“Spurs are third favourites no doubt. It’s still not impossible but it will be difficult,” he added.
“Liverpool are the favourites, they’re probably 5/4 or 6/4, while Tottenham are 10/1 maybe.
“But there are only three teams who can win it this year.
“I don’t see Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester United (challenging). They have too much to do.”
