The former England manager spoke about sides that can challenge Manchester City for Europe's top club prize.

Despite a poor start to this season, Capello has backed Eddie Howe's Magpies to challenge for the Premier League and European success.

He told Eurosport Italy: I think this year will be difficult for Manchester City to win the Champions League another time and also the Premier League, because a lot of the teams are really strong.

I think Arsenal, Manchester United and also Newcastle United will be difficult in every league game and in the Champions League."

Newcastle are in a Champions League group with Paris Saint-Germain, AC Milan, and Borussia Dortmund.
