With eight Premier League games remaining this term, Tottenham are fourth, three points behind Arsenal, with Chelsea and Newcastle five points behind Redknapp's side.

The 65-year-old manager is unsure which side has the easiest run of games in the final two months of the season.

"With teams scrapping for their lives now in the lower half of the table, teams can go on a run and cause upsets so I don't know who has the easier run in," Redknapp said.

"Arsenal have got to play Manchester City at home and Chelsea at home so they're two very tough games but they're in good form.

"I think there will be some twists and turns soon.

"I wouldn't write Chelsea off that's for sure - they're a strong side.

"They went to Benfica and got an amazing result during the week, so it's going to be close.

"Newcastle also - they've done miracles to be where they are now. They're still right in the mix."

Redknapp was full of praised when speaking of visiting manager Brendan Rodgers' achievements in his first full season in top-flight management.

"I just think it's been fantastic that a team can come up and play the way they've played, passed the ball like they pass the ball and cause everyone they play against massive problems," Redknapp said.

"I don't care who they've played against, they've given teams big, big problems and been fantastic."

Tottenham beat Bolton 3-1 on Tuesday to move into the FA Cup semi-finals, where they will play Chelsea.

But their manager denied that the 140-year-old tournament would take precedence over the race for Champions League football next season.

"We want that Champions League football next year so we can't afford to slip up anywhere," Redknapp said.

"We've really got to go at full tilt in every game.

"We can't afford to take our foot off the pedal and rest people up for the semi-final."
