‘Chelsea to finish 3rd and Liverpool won’t make top four’ – Former Liverpool star reveals

Former Chelsea and Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson has made his top-four prediction ahead of the return of the Premier League later this month.

The Premier League will resume on Boxing Day after a six-week hiatus for the Qatar World Cup.

Asked for his top-four prediction ahead of the return of Premier League football, Johnson told GGRecon: “Obviously, Manchester City and Arsenal.

“For the other two spaces I’m going to go to Chelsea, and I really want to say Liverpool, but I’m really not sure.

“I’m going to say Tottenham for fourth, which hurts me to say, but if I had to put my money on it, I’d say Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham.

“It would be good for the Premier League if Arsenal won the title. Somebody outside of Manchester City or Liverpool would ruffle the feathers of everyone and bring the league back to life.

“It’s good for the Premier League if Arsenal win it, but I obviously don’t want them to, but I don’t want Manchester City to win it either.”
