Jamie Carragher has dismissed the chances of Chelsea and Arsenal challenging for the title next season and says it will be Manchester United and Liverpool that challenge Manchester City for the Premier League.

“I’m going to go for Liverpool and Manchester United,” said Carragher, when asked who will battle City for the title.

“I think Liverpool will come back. I agree with Gary, I think the jump in terms of really challenging City might be too big and it might be too big for Manchester United too but I do see those two teams challenging.

“United look really solid and if they go and get a couple of attacking players to score more goals – that’s what they need to do. Liverpool will invest again in midfield and they’ve got players that have won the biggest trophies before in the goalkeeper, Salah, Van Dijk, Trent. So Ithink Liverpool and United.”
