Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has named the three clubs he thinks can challenge him for the Premier League title this season. Interestingly, Tottenham Hotspur are one of them, but Arsenal are not.
It’s been a fascinating start to the Premier League season already. While Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham set the pace at the top of the table, Liverpool have struggled and Chelsea have already sacked their manager.
Manchester City were the only team in the league yet to lose a game until their trip to Anfield this weekend.
But, despite the defeat, the addition of Erling Haaland to an already potent City attack is paying dividends, with the Norwegian striker already registering 15 league goals this season (Transfermarkt).
Although Arsenal are top of the league, Pep Guardiola’s side are still the team to beat it seems. So, can anyone stop City this year?
In an interview with the Manchester Evening News, Guardiola named three teams that he thinks will challenge for the title this season.
He said: “A fact is a contender, Tottenham will be there, Chelsea and Liverpool as well.
“What happened the previous seasons, Liverpool, Jurgen [Klopp] might not see it now but always I see them as a contender.
“If [there were] two months left I’d say maybe too late. Just one-quarter of the season. Lots of games to play, many things can happen.”

Let’s be honest, even at this early stage, the title is Manchester City’s to lose. It was theirs to lose before a ball was even kicked, in truth. Having Erling Haaland in that team is an absolute cheat code, and it’s going to be very hard for anyone to challenge that this season.
However, the fact that Spurs are so close right now and are grinding out results without playing particularly well, is a good indication that we can still be up there come the end of the season.
Liverpool and Chelsea, while they’ve had a shaky start to the season, will no doubt find their feet and be challenging for the top places once again. The only hope is that Arsenal slip up soon, and then we’ll all be happy.
