Chelsea star backs Spurs for glory

Chelsea star Nicolas Anelka believes Tottenham are very real contenders for this season’s EPL crown. Speaking on Friday, the 31-year-old Frenchman said: "I rate Spurs very highly. They are absolute favourites to win the title." And while the striker reckons the usual suspects will be in the mix for honours, he insists Champions League glory has become the No 1 priority at Stamford Bridge. "Our aim this season is to finally win the Champions League. Could we win a treble, the way Inter Milan did last season? Not so fast - it will be a tough job just to defend our league title.Our biggest rivals will of course be Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal, while Manchester City could play a major role. But I believe that this will be the most thrilling season ever in the history of the Premier League."
