“I think Chelsea will secure that fourth spot” – Legend predicts success for old teammate

John Terry has backed Chelsea to finish fourth in the Premier League.

The former Blues defender was speaking in his role as a pundit for Monday night’s game with Manchester United.

He admitted that the loss against the Red Devils had cost his old side in their chase for a Champions League place, but also insisted he thought they would make it:

“It will be tough, I just think Spurs and Man United have had a couple of good results and I think Chelsea are on the decline slightly,” the former England captain explained.

“But I think they have another gear to go to and I think Chelsea will secure that fourth spot,” he concluded.

Frank Lampard will be glad to have this kind of public backing from his old teammate. As well as needing to find a tactical solution, Lampard also needs to reinvigorate the team and bring some confidence back.

This is still in their hands, but as even Terry admits, they need to go into “another gear” to have any chance of making it happen.
