Liverpool hero John Aldridge has declared Manchester City as Premier League title favourites.
He wrote for the Sunday World: "Anyone who finishes ahead of Manchester City will end up as Premier League champions.
"I said that in my first Sunday World column of this season back in August and as we approach the halfway point now, it's clear for all to see that Pep Guardiola's side are the team to beat.
"They have proved down the years that they can go on long winning runs and blow the opposition away, which is what they are doing right now.
"Their 7-0 win against Leeds on Tuesday night was their seventh successive Premier League win and I fully expect them to take that total to eight at Newcastle this afternoon.
"City are a class outfit and that's no surprise given the amount of money they have spent in recent years."
