EPL: Robert Huth names clubs to finish Premier League top four this season

By Adeleye Kunle

Former Premier League defender Robert Huth has given his verdict on teams to finish top four in the Premier League this season.

He feels that Chelsea would miss out on a Champions League place this season after sacking Thomas Tuchel.

The Blues are up.against Crystal Palace on Saturday being their first Premier League game after the sacking of Thomas Tuchel and the appointment of Graham Potter.

Tuchel sacked at the start of September after his 100th game in charge ended in defeat to Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League.

The Blues go into this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting seventh with 10 points from six games.

According to Huth’s Tottenham and Arsenal will finish above alongside Liverpool and defending champions Manchester City.

Arsenal, Man City and Spurs are currently separated by just one point at the top of the table, with Potter’s former club Brighton fourth after a brilliant start.

“My opinion on this year’s top four has all changed with the sacking of Thomas Tuchel,” Huth told Ladbrokes.

“I was expecting Chelsea to be right up there, especially after the recruitment they did in the summer. But now I just don’t see them doing it

“I think Arsenal need to finish in the top four. With the money they’ve invested in the team and the time they’ve given Mikel Arteta, you’d have to say it would be a bit of a failure if they didn’t make it this season
