As long as Liverpool’s form remains patchy, the former Arsenal forward thinks Harry Kane will make the difference in the race to earn a spot in the competition for next season.
The striker scored twice for Spurs against Nottingham Forest.
What Did Ian Wright Say About Liverpool?
“I think Tottenham are going to be okay simply because they have got Harry Kane,” said Wright speaking to Premier League Productions. “He’s going to score goals.
“You look at Newcastle. They are missing chances. Yes, they scored a couple and it was good for them, but they will have to do that with their two games in hand. They have to score goals. I can’t see Tottenham not scoring goals.
“You can’t trust them. You can’t trust Liverpool. At the moment, whoever I am, playing against Liverpool, then I would have a go.
“What it comes down to is that you have Harry Kane. For as long you have Harry Kane and you can create chances, then he is probably going to score them. This is why I will fancy Tottenham to make the top four, regardless of how they play.”
