Redknapp: Title will go to United or Chelsea

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has written off the chances of rivals Arsenal winning the Premier League title this season.

The Gunners were held at Middlesbrough on Saturday and despite Liverpool dropping points and Spurs holding Manchester United later, Redknapp feels the champions will be Alex Ferguson’s men or Chelsea.

“One of those two will win,” Redknapp said. “That’s not being too clever, though, is it because there’s only Liverpool up there as well with them.

“Arsenal aren’t going to win it this year. I can’t see them coming back into it and winning the championship.

“And I think Liverpool rely so heavily on (Steven) Gerrard and (Fernando) Torres.

“If something happened to Gerrard, I don’t know what they’d do, really. So I still see them being short of Chelsea and Manchester United.”

After frustrating United at White Hart Lane, Redknapp revealed he has long-term transfer targets for a team he wants to build.

“I know exactly who I want at this club,” he said. “I’ve got a list of players, and it’s not like four for one position. I know exactly what I want the team to be here.”

His immediate targets are loans to solve his injury problems, with Jonathan Woodgate picking up a back injury against United and Jermaine Jenas tearing a calf.
