Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer, has said that Manchester City and Chelsea can challenge Arsenal for the Premier League title this season.
Shearer spoke on The Rest Is Football podcast after Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the Premier League over the weekend.
The former England international ruled out any possibility of Manchester United competing for the Premier League title, insisting that the Red Devils are not good defensively.
Asked who he sees as Arsenal’s biggest rivals for the Premier League title this season, Shearer said, “Chelsea and Man City. I’d probably go with Man City.
“Manchester United are not good enough defensively to be anywhere near challenging the teams we have already mentioned.”
Manchester City currently sit at the top of the Premier League table after three matches, while Arsenal occupy second position and Chelsea sit in fourth place.
