Tottenham will be four points of the two Manchester teams if they win their game in hand.
“We have had the stats to show we’re five or six points ahead of the previous year’s form and you have to say City’s form is equal to that,” the Manchester United manager said. “To have 45 points is an enormous total at this time of year. It will be nip and tuck between the two of us but I think Tottenham are the best team in the country at the moment.
“The difficulty for Arsenal and Chelsea is that they have to overtake three teams, and unless three teams collapse they won’t have that opportunity. Tottenham’s form is the best anywhere. Are they title contenders? Definitely.”
