Kyle Walker expects top-four finish

Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker has predicted that his side will qualify for the Champions League this season.

Spurs sit third ahead of this weekend's fixtures and have a seven-point cushion over Arsenal in fifth place.

Walker believes that if Spurs can maintain their fine Premier League form in 2013 they should be assured of a top-four finish.

He told BBC Sport: "If we keep playing to the standard we have been playing then I think we will qualify for the Champions League. Fingers crossed."

Andre Villas-Boas's side return to domestic action with a London derby at home to Fulham tomorrow afternoon.
