Rio Ferdinand gives verdict on Premier League top four battle

Rio Ferdinand believes it’s too close to call who will finish in the Premier League’s top four this season. Liverpool, Manchester City, Leicester City and Chelsea are currently on top-four. The Reds are 22 points ahead of second placed City, Pep Guardiola’s side, meanwhile are 2 points ahead of third-placed Leicester City. The points between Leicester and Chelsea are 8 points, but the Blues are only 4 points ahead of fifth-placed Tottenham Hotspur. Speaking at BT's launch of its new, five-year 4-3-3 partnership with the English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh FAs, Ferdinand said: "It is up for grabs. There are probably four or five teams who can get into that top four. And again time will tell - no one has hit a great run of form in the chasing pack to really say 'we're going to get that fourth place'."
