Liverpool sit just a point behind Man City heading into Saturday afternoon’s clash at the Etihad.
Meanwhile, ex-Man City captain, Richard Dunne has named the club he believes will challenge his former team this season.
Arsenal led the table for most of last season but were eventually leapfrogged by the Citizens, who ended up lifting the title.
Dunne talking to Betway on the team that will likely push Pep Guardiola’s side this campaign, insisted that Arsenal aren’t strong enough and named Liverpool as the only team that can compete with the reigning PL champions.
He said: “City and Liverpool will be up there.
“I am still not sure about Arsenal and if they can compete in all the different competitions. Is their squad big enough?”
