Former Tottenham star Jermain Defoe insists they can still beat Arsenal to fourth place this season.

Saturday proved to be a good day for Arsenal, with them beating Manchester United to all but end their top four hopes and later seeing Spurs drop points away to Brentford.

However, Defoe, speaking on Sky following the 0-0 draw with Brentford, believed Spurs still had the edge over Arsenal owing to 'winner' Antonio Conte.

He said: "I still feel that with this manager, with players like Harry Kane and Son, get them back to their best, I still feel that Tottenham will finish in that top four.

"Conte is a big factor. He's a winner. His record speaks for itself.

"Pochettino wanted to coach the younger players, with Conte any young players who come through they have to be ready to play because he just wants to win. That's why I'm so confident."
