A.Ferguson: "Arsenal" and "Tottenham" will not compete for "Premier League" gold © EuroFootball.com

"Manchester United" coach Alex Ferguson insisted that London clubs "Arsenal" and "Tottenham" are not capable of winning the Premier League champions title this year.

The 70-year-old football specialist mentioned that the only contenders to win the gold are "Chelsea," "Man City," and his coached team.

"I think that this trio is gradually distancing themselves from the rest of the teams. I would be very surprised if another team were to triumph," Ferguson said.

"Of course, the matches against 'Chelsea' will be very important, but there are still many games to play. True, the champions' title can also be secured differently - based on goal difference, as it happened last year," Ferguson said.
