Former Manchester United goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel has expressed his thoughts on the team that have the ability to battle Pep Guardiola’s side for the Premier League title this term.

Peter has picked Mikel Arteta’s side as the team fit enough to contend with City for the title. Despite the fact that both Liverpool and Arsenal are yet to lose a game this season, Liverpool are still yet to convince pundits of their League contention strength, while Manchester United are already off the pace, despite showing promise last season.

The Pundit said: “I don’t think [Liverpool] can [keep up with Manchester City]. I don’t think [they can],” the pundit said.

“If there is a team, it might be Arsenal – but that is a big might.

“I don’t think anyone can stay with Man City, we were just looking at that line-up today and you look at their back four, how are you gonna compete with that? [Kyle] Walker, [Ruben] Dias, [Manuel] Akanji and Gvardiol – how can you compete with that?

“You can’t match it, and Liverpool for sure can’t match it. I agree with you [Steve McManaman], they are very, very vulnerable at the back.”
