Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists Liverpool remain the team to beat this season.
City host the defending champions on Sunday.
“They are the biggest favourite, but I think with what's happened with the pandemic, the situation is a bit different," said Guardiola. “I see other teams who are strong.
“Leicester maintained the level from last season, apart from the last month-and-a-half of it when they dropped points, but now have incredibly solid results.
“Arsenal made a big step forward to be contenders. At Tottenham, Jose Mourinho has the team that he wants.
“Chelsea are so stable now, not conceding goals, scoring a lot and they have a huge squad for rotating top players.
“Manchester United, in this moment, are not [doing well] in terms of results, but we saw the quality they had last season.
“We suffered a lot in results against them and up front they are incredibly fast and clinical. They are top class. So I think this season, there will be a lot of teams being there.
“The last five to 10 games will be important, to arrive there to fight for the title."
