Pundit Roy Keane believes only Liverpool and Manchester City are capable of winning the Premier League title this season.
The campaign gets underway this weekend after Pep Guardiola's side were triumphant on the final day last term. It's been a busy summer for the top six clubs, with the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham making some big moves.
Despite the ongoing transfer business, Keane says it will still be a two-horse race between Liverpool and City this season. However, he has named the current champions as favourites.

"Just Liverpool and Man City (can win the title)," the pundit told Sky Sports. "I think they're a level ahead of everyone else. We've seen that with recruitment. Even the game last week, I know it's only the Community Shield and pre-season, I just can't see the other teams getting near them for the title.
"There will be improvement at Tottenham and Manchester United have to be better than last year, but the simple answer in terms of winning the league: Liverpool and City. I can't see beyond it."
When asked who will lift the trophy next May, he added: "Man City."
Liverpool get their league campaign underway tomorrow lunchtime with an away trip to Fulham. City, on the other hand, are away at West Ham in the later kick-off on Saturday afternoon.
