Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher has changed his mind about Manchester City winning the Premier League title this season.
Speaking on Monday Night Football, Carragher claimed that Rodri’s move to Barcelona this summer was the reason he had made the U-turn.
He is now backing Arsenal to retain their crown.
“A few weeks ago, I thought Man City might have a chance, but it was all around Rodri.
“If Rodri stayed, I’d maybe make a case for them, but without Rodri, I just can’t see it,” Carragher said.
Carragher also said the top four would be completed by Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
He said: “Man City are better than Chelsea, but the European factor can play a huge part. We saw Manchester United last season. It gives them a big lift, Chelsea.
“I think Liverpool would want more, but I think, just looking at the Chelsea situation and Liverpool where they are right now, I don’t see any way they’d be in the top two, and I don’t see any way they can mount a title challenge.”
