Alan Shearer has suggested that Liverpool and Manchester City remain favorites to win the Premier League this season.
This Premier League season seems to be one of the most interesting to date. Games that are played behind closed doors have already yielded surprising results.
Liverpool and Man City have been at the end of heavy defeats to Aston Villa and Leicester City respectively.

Each side has suffered great blows from injuries. Jurgen Klopp’s team will be without Virgil Van Dijk for the rest of the season, while Fabinho and Allison have missed both games.
Meanwhile, Sergio Agüero has missed recent City games due to a hamstring injury.
The two favorites to win the title meet at Etihad on Sunday afternoon. Pep Guardiola’s men have one game less than Liverpool, but a victory would put them two points behind the league champions.
Shearer told The Athletic, quoted by The subway, that Liverpool and City are still favorites to win the league. He added that City must win on Sunday to increase their chances of beating the Reds for the title:
“At the moment I still think it will be between City and Liverpool. Although Liverpool suffered a major defeat by losing Van Dijk during the season.
“Without playing great football yet, they are the best in the league. It should be a great game on Sunday and it is a game that City need to win because they cannot afford to be eight points behind.
It could well be the biggest weekend of the season so far. The two biggest title contenders will finally meet in a long-awaited meeting, but will Leicester or Wolves prevail? Liverpool also play Manchester City or something similar.
