Paul Merson U-turns on top four prediction just SIX games into the new Premier League season as he tips Tottenham to secure Champions League qualification - but still insists Man United will miss out despite revival under Erik ten Hag

Paul Merson has u-turned on his top four prediction just six games into the new Premier League season as the pundit tipped Arsenal and Tottenham to secure Champions League football, but remains unconvinced by Manchester United.

Merson has stuck by his claim that Manchester City and Liverpool will finish in the highly-contested places, but has ousted Chelsea as Champions League suitors following their sacking of Thomas Tuchel.

The former Arsenal player also bemoaned United's chances of challenging for a top four finish despite turning around their fortunes under new boss Erik ten Hag.
