EPL: Heskey predicts title winners, top four teams

Former England striker, Emile Heskey, has backed Chelsea to make the Premier League top four this season.

The Blues finished in sixth place last term and replaced Mauricio Pochettino with Enzo Maresca.

Heskey, speaking on talkSPORT, predicted that Manchester City will win the title for a fifth consecutive year.

He said: “I’ve gone the obvious – City [in first]. [Followed by] Arsenal, Liverpool, and hear me out on this, Chelsea.

I put Chelsea in because of other reasons, and knowing them. Knowing how the manager works, and what he wants. I was intrigued with the players that he’s got.”
