Carragher: Spurs and Chelsea can break top four

Former Liverpool defender sees a golden chance for Spurs and Chelsea to upset the Premier League order.

What happened. Jamie Carragher believes Tottenham and Chelsea have a real opportunity to finish in the top four this season, as both clubs are without European football.

• Spurs are managed by Roberto De Zerbi, who saved them from relegation.
• Chelsea appointed Xabi Alonso as new manager last month.
• Both clubs have spent heavily this summer to address issues.

“There’s a real opportunity for Spurs and Chelsea, without European football next season, to make a real fist of it.”

— Jamie Carragher

Both teams aim to capitalize on their lack of European fixtures to focus on the league.
