Tottenham took a huge step to qualification for the Champions League by beating Arsenal at White Hart Lane on Sunday. It meant Andre Villas-Boas' team moved into third, seven points clear of fifth placed Arsenal.

There are 10 games to go, and apart from Manchester United, the other four teams called all conceivably miss out on a top four finish. But who do you think it will be?

We've had over 200 votes so far - with Arsenal the clear favourites to miss out. However, the poll remains open and that could all change. Keep on voting...

Historically 21 wins guarantees champions league football, 20 wins usually enough and 19 often enough. Spurs and Man City need 4 wins each to reach 20, Chelsea need 5 and Arsenal need 7 from 10. Therefore, Arsenal have the toughest task even though they have the easiest run in. Arsenal away at Swansea, West Brom, Newcastle, QPR , and Fulham and home to Man U and Everton are all going to be tough to win but the have to win four of them assuming they don't slip up against Reading, Norwich and Wigan at home.
