EPL: ‘No hope for them’ – Petit names two clubs that won’t finish top four

Former Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has voiced his skepticism about Manchester United and Liverpool's chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League this season. Speaking to BOYLE Sports, Petit stated that both teams have "no hope" this season, citing their struggles in both form and transfer market activities.

Manchester United, who have managed to win only one of their first four Premier League matches, have suffered defeats against Hull City and Manchester City. Despite Liverpool's unbeaten run under new manager Andoni Iraola, who joined from Bournemouth this summer, Petit remains doubtful about their ability to secure a top-four position. Three of Liverpool's four matches have ended in draws, including a goalless draw with Fulham.

Petit attributes their difficulties to conceding too many goals, mirroring Chelsea's struggles, and further highlights their shortcomings by noting their lack of key players. With Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea set to compete for the final top-four spot, Petit believes that Manchester United and Liverpool might just manage to secure a position after them.
