Former Newcastle striker Louis Saha admits he sees Liverpool as title challengers.
Saha believes Manchester City remain the team to beat this season.
"I still have Manchester City as favourites for the league trophy as they have a team built for winning the Premier League. There is, however, the threat of Liverpool, with their spirit and consistency, and they'll be challenging," he told KingCasinoBonus.
"Arsenal deserve mention, too, due to what they achieved last year, and now we have an emerging Tottenham. That'll be my predicted top-four this season! Man United are already quite behind, and it's looking unlikely that any other teams will compete for the top-four.
"It doesn't look like Man United will finish in the top-four at the moment. However, if the team starts clicking and if the forward players start building partnerships, who knows what could happen. The midfield needs to start clicking, too, as they're looking too slow and predictable."
