Former Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has shared his predictions for the season, including who he thinks will win the Premier League and Champions League.
Liverpool remain locked in a title race with Manchester City and are currently just one point behind their rivals as the international break gets underway this week. A win over Watford in the early kick-off on Saturday, April 2 will put the Reds above City before they face Burnley later that same day.
In the Champions League, Jurgen Klopp's side are gearing up for a quarter-final clash with Benfica next month while City face a difficult test in Atletico Madrid. The two sides will meet, however, in the semi-finals of the FA Cup just a week after their Premier League meeting at the Etihad.

Despite Liverpool closing in, Ozil believes it is Pep Guardiola's side that will be lifting the league title for a second consecutive season in May.
In a tweet shared on social media, the 33-year-old, who currently plays for Turkish side Fenerbahce, shared his predictions and says Liverpool will miss out to their rivals.
He does, however, believe the Reds will go all the way in Europe and secure their seventh Champions League trophy at the Stade de France. If Liverpool are to progress past Benfica, they'll face either Bayern Munich or Villarreal in the next round.
Ozil says there could potentially be even more silverware for Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold this year as he predicts England will win the World Cup for the first time since 1966 when the competition gets underway in Qatar.
The former Arsenal man is a World Cup winner himself as he went all the way with Germany in the 2014 tournament hosted in Brazil. They beat Argentina 1-0 with a dramatic extra time winner from Mario Gotze.
