Conte said: “Yeah but you know very well the race for a place in Champions League will be really, really tough because you see the competitors.
“You see there are many, many teams involved and I think in this moment there is only one place available because City and Arsenal they are fighting to win the Premier League and United I think they are showing they have great continuity of good results.
“I think there is one place and there are many teams, many important teams that are in this race.
“We have to try to do our best and for sure I repeat for us to finish in the top four is like to win the Premier League. It happen last season and I spoke about miracle.
“I continue to say maybe this season it be much more difficult, much more difficult because Liverpool is a competitor in this race.”
Top-four battle
We believe that the battle for the final spot in the Premier League table will go down to the wire.
Tottenham Hotspur are clearly in the race, but so are Liverpool and Newcastle United.
Even Brighton and Hove Albion and Fulham will fancy their chances of making a late push.
It is going to be a fascinating battle.
