Chelsea hero Joe Cole cannot see Tottenham or Arsenal finishing above his old side.
After seven matches in the Premier League, Tottenham is sixth, the Gunners are fourth, while Chelsea are seventh.
Cole is confident his former side can make the top four, even if reaching the top six would have been the aim at the beginning.
“After 10 games now I’m looking at it, top six is acceptable, but I’m looking at it and thinking I can’t see Tottenham or Arsenal finishing above Chelsea,” he said on BT Sport.
“With where they are as a team at the moment. More importantly it’s what [Roman] Abramovich wants.”
