Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe has revealed his top four prediction for the Premier League, which Thierry Henry could hardly believe.
Both Spurs and Arsenal dropped points on Thursday evening but remain in contention for the Champions League places, with the Gunners currently second in the Premier League and Tottenham fifth.
Arsenal lost 2-0 to West Ham as Declan Rice faced off against his former team, while Tottenham - who were without their first choice centre back pairing in Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero - were blown away by Brighton and Hove Albion in a 4-2 defeat.
Speaking after Arsenal's defeat to West Ham at the Emirates Stadium, Defoe revealed his predictions for the top four in the Premier League season.

He told Amazon Prime: "[Man] City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal. Why not?"
Henry was stunned by Defoe's prediction, replying: "What! What did you say? Tottenham?"
The title race in the top flight of English football is heating up with Liverpool currently sitting pretty in first place following their most recent 2-0 win against Burnley.
Mikel Arteta's side follow closely in second, just two points behind the Reds, with the likes of Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur all within touching distance as we head into the New Year.

Despite the quality across each side in the upper echelons of the standings, all teams have recently dropped points with City losing to Villa, Villa collapsing against Manchester United, Liverpool being held to a frustrating draw against Erik ten Hag's men and Arsenal's recent run of form.
Which all points towards an interesting end to the 2023/24 campaign, as we approach the second-half of the season.
