Former Tottenham Hotspur manager George Graham believes that his old team will not finish in the top four of the Premier League this season.

Andre Villas-Boas's side are currently fourth in the table and hold a four-point lead over rivals Arsenal in fifth place having played a game more.

Graham told The Mirror: "Tottenham will be the ones to lose out.

"They have a difficult run-in and they have played a game more than the others. But I want to stress that it would be anything but a disaster for them or make it a poor ­season. In fact, I would say the opposite."

Tottenham's next Premier League game is against Swansea City next Saturday.
