After Manchester United’s 1-1 draw against Tottenham, Joe Cole rates Chelsea’s chances of top four finish

Chelsea legend Joe Cole has backed the Blues to secure a Champions League spot ahead of Manchester United.

Cole believes Frank Lampard’s winning mentality will be the reason Chelsea will keep a rejuvenated Manchester United at bay.

“It’s hard because none of us have seen any kind of form, we don’t know what’s going on,” Cole told BT Sport.

“You look at the logic and (Paul) Pogba is going to be back fit for Man United. Bruno Fernandes will have settled in a little bit more. He looks like an excellent signing. They’ll be chasing Chelsea down.

“The logical thing is Man United will come back stronger because they’ve got their best player back in Paul Pogba, but I think Frank’s got enough to hang on in there and nick that fourth place.

“I know Frank’s a winner and he’ll be looking at the FA Cup as well. That’s vitally important for that club because over the last 20 years has been built on winning trophies and that’s what the fans want to see.”
