Harry Redknapp believes any of the teams currently chasing a Champions League spot are capable of catching Arsenal in third place.
Redknapp's men can get within four points of the Gunners if they beat Aston Villa on Saturday evening with Spurs' fiercest rivals facing a tricky trip to Chelsea on Sunday.
The trip to Villa Park could be a pivotal one for both sides with Martin O'Neill's side just two points behind Tottenham who currently occupy fourth spot.
With Liverpool and Manchester City also pushing for a top four finish it could go down to the wire as to who will be competing in Europe's premier tournament next season.
With Arsenal's recent poor form, Redknapp has set his sights on overhauling the Gunners but admits that Arsene Wenger's men are favourites to land at least a third-place finish.
"It is going to be tight," Redknapp said. "If we would have beaten Birmingham last week when leading 1-0, and we should have had the game over, then we are suddenly not so far away from Arsenal.
"Someone could get third spot. Manchester City could. We could. Liverpool could. Anyone is capable with a run. Arsenal are not 100% sure to be there if they get beaten by Chelsea and other teams pick up good results.
"Arsenal are favourites but it is not impossible for anyone to catch them, there could be a five or six-point turnaround. We thought that Chelsea were running away with it, but now look at it. Wide open again."
Punters looking to use their free bet may fancy backing Spurs for a top four finish if they can beat Villa on Saturday.
