Matthew Le Tissier believes Manchester City will deny rivals Manchester United a top-four finish this season.
With Leicester and Tottenham looking to have the Premier League title between them and Arsenal their closest rivals, the final Champions League berth appears to be between the Manchester duo and fifth-placed West Ham.
City, who followed up a 4-0 win at Bournemouth with a 2-2 draw against PSG on Wednesday, hold a slender one-point lead over United going into the final seven matches of the season, an advantage Sky Sports pundit Le Tissier is convinced they will maintain.
Arsenal travel to West Ham for the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday while City host West Brom later in the day before United take on Tottenham at White Hart Lane at 4pm on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.
Speaking to Sky Sports Now, Le Tissier said: "I think given the way Spurs are playing this season, they go into the weekend as pretty hot favourites, although Manchester United can never be written off.
"If you are asking me who I think would win I would probably say Spurs and I think Man Utd will probably be just shy of overtaking Man City for fourth Place.
"City still have plenty in their locker and if they look like they are getting threatened for fourth place they'll start pulling out some results as they did at Bournemouth last weekend."
And fellow Sky Sports Now guest Charlie Adam backs Le Tissier's claims, insisting teams no longer fear facing United at home or away.
"I would say the fear factor has dipped in recent seasons," said the Stoke City midfielder. "And I would say that Sir Alex Ferguson leaving was a major factor in that.
"He was a big presence at the club and also in English football. I think a lot of clubs going to Old Trafford now are confident that they can beat them. However, they are in the mix right now and will give it a right go."
