Clinton Morrison believes Manchester City will pip Liverpool to the Premier League title and make it three in a row thanks to the arrival of striker Erling Haaland. The former striker believes the Reds will massively miss Sadio Mane after he left for Bayern Munich.
Morrison has predicted the title race to go right 'down to the wire' once again after City secured the title with a 3-2 win over Aston Villa on the final day of last season.
The former Crystal Palace and Birmingham man hasn't written Chelsea off, but Morrison believes Antonio Conte's Tottenham Hotspur side could finish in third spot ahead of their London rivals.

" Liverpool will miss Sadio Mane massively and Manchester City bringing in Erling Haaland might just edge it for them,” Morrison told William Hill. “They’re the two outstanding teams. I think it’s going to go right down to the wire, but if I had to pick one, I’d just go for Manchester City.
“I wouldn’t want to write off Chelsea in the title race, as I think Raheem Sterling is good business for them. I think they will bring in more defenders. When you lose the likes of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, you’re going to have to bring in replacements.
“Spurs are the surprise package. I think the business Conte has done this summer has been outstanding. And he’s a winner, he wins things. When you bring Antonio Conte through a building, he wins things. Spurs could make third place, but I still think Chelsea will do good business.
“There’s always a chance Arsenal can sneak into the top four. Did I ever predict Spurs would be in the top four last season? No. But they did ever so well. There’s always an outside chance of it. At the moment I think Arsenal are in a better position than Manchester United.”
