Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes it is a two horse race between Chelsea and Manchester United for the Premier League title.
The Blues beat Arsenal on Sunday to pull five points clear of United at the top of the table, with Spurs in third a massive ten points behind Carlo Ancelotti's side.
Redknapp said he learnt nothing new about the title race after the weekend, saying he has thought for weeks that it is between the top two.
He told Sky Sports News: "Anyone who knew anything about football knew how strong Chelsea were before the weekend.
"And Man United, I said weeks and weeks ago that I could see Chelsea and Man United fighting out the championship this year and that's how I am sure it is going to be again."
Gunners shot
Despite Arsene Wenger insisting that the Gunners are still in the title hunt, Redknapp does not agree.
He added: "I wouldn't see them winning the championship - you saw yesterday just how strong Chelsea are, powerful, they have got everything really.
"Man United will chase them all the way and you can never write United off - they've got great players as well and they've got to play Chelsea at Old Trafford still.
"So I see the two of them pulling away. I spoke with Alex (Ferguson) two weeks ago at a function and he felt the same way, that it would end up a couple of teams, two pulling away and that's how it looks to me as it's going to finish.
"It will be between them two teams."
Modric comeback
Meanwhile, Redknapp has been encouraged by midfielder Luka Modric training with the youth team in his comeback from a fractured fibula.
The Croatian has been out since August after suffering the injury in the league victory over Birmingham at White Hart Lane.
The Spurs boss added: "Luka trained with the kids and he was moving a lot better. So he's on his way back and hopefully it shouldn't take too long.
"We don't want to break him down and we want to make sure he's ready."
