Gary Neville claims Leicester have edge over Man United in top 4 race

– Man United, Chelsea and Leicester all stand a pole position to finish in the top four

– Only a point is separating Chelsea in third and Man United who sit fifth

– Leicester have a golden chance to move to third should they earn points away at Spurs

Gary Neville has claimed the top four is Leicester City’s to lose as the the 2019/20 season heads into the final week.

There are just two matches left to end the campaign, with the top four race set to go down the wire.

With Man City and Liverpool already confirming their Champions League qualification, Leicester, United and Chelsea have been left to fight for the two remaining two slots.

The Blues are currently occupying third place with 63 points, with just a point separating them and the Red Devils in fifth.

United have been in fine shape among the three teams and are on a 19-game unbeaten streak in all competitions.

However, they dropped points against Southampton in their league clash to miss out on a glorious chance to go third on the charts.

Neville, a former Man United defender now says the result would have given Leicester an edge over the Red Devils in the race for top four.

“They would have been two points clear with Leicester needing to go to Tottenham and West Ham. It’s really up for grabs. Tottenham v Leicester is a big, big game. Leicester beating Sheffield United was big,” Metro UK quoted the former England international saying.

“It looked to me that Manchester United were, not in cruise control, but were pulling back at Leicester. But that Southampton goal has given Leicester a lifeline. Manchester United did well against Palace but Leicester winning [against Sheffield United] means it’s all going to come down to the last week,” Neville added.

The Foxes will play Tottenham in their next match on Sunday, July 19.
