Harry Redknapp insists that Tottenham Hotspur are still in with a "big chance" to finish in the top four and claiming a spot in next season's of the Champions League.
Spurs' results have been inconsistent in recent weeks, with only one victory in their last five league games and the goalless draw with Aston Villa on Saturday meant Liverpool could reclaim a familiar fourth position with a win over Everton.
But former-Portsmouth boss Redknapp believes that the objective is still within touching distance.
"We're still right there," said Redknapp, according to the Press Association.
"[Fellow top four contendor] Manchester City got beat at Hull on Saturday. It's hard to win games, it's not easy.
"We have been in great form. We have had one defeat in 12 games now. I can't complain.
"We have been good to watch. We have played some great football. Everyone is at the peak of their form so we have got a big chance still.
"There is no guarantee we are going to make it, it is going to be difficult we know that.
"Liverpool are back in. At the start of the year nobody would have seen them outside the top four so it is going to be hard to finish above them to start with.
"But we are in there with a chance, which is good."
Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch had previously remarked that the Reds are now the favourites to finish among the four teams that will have a chance to brush shoulders with Europe's elite.
Redknapp shared a similar view with his lanky forward. "I would say they probably are [favourites for fourth spot]," he said.
"Ourselves, City, Villa are all there pushing. It is going to be tight but we have still got a big chance."
Tottenham travel to play Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Wednesday hoping to keep pressure on their rivals.
