Sergio Agüero coy on Newcastle United's Champions League hopes as Liverpool and Chelsea struggle

Former Manchester City striker Sergio Agüero believes Chelsea have the best options to break into the Premier League top-four, with Liverpool not at the level of previous seasons. In fact, both aforementioned sides have struggled with consistency this season and are some way off the Premier League frontrunners.

Both sides have spent big since the summer, the Blues spending considerably more than the Reds, but they're nine and ten points adrift of Newcastle United in fourth place. Arsenal and Manchester City are the two favourites to finish in the top-four, while Manchester United and the Magpies have traded places in third and fourth in recent weeks.

However, both Newcastle and the Red Devils have targets on their back, with Tottenham Hotspur, Brighton and Fulham breathing down their necks. Nonetheless, Agüero doesn't believe you can rule out the two big spenders.
