Competition for the fourth place in the English Premier League is intensifying, with London's Chelsea currently holding that position. Frank Lampard's team is now just one point ahead of Tottenham, who are currently in fifth place and will face off on Saturday afternoon. Before this match, Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho stated that Chelsea are currently the main favorites to finish in fourth place. "At the moment, we, Manchester United, Arsenal, Sheffield United, Wolves and Everton, are outsiders in the battle for the top four spots. We all have ambitions to claim this position, but currently we are behind Chelsea, so the advantage is in their hands. Of course, it is not a huge advantage, but it is there. "Chelsea are currently the favorites to claim the fourth place," Mourinho said ahead of the upcoming match. However, Manchester City's disqualification from UEFA tournaments means that even the fifth place this season could open up a path to the Champions League, if City's appeal is not successful.
