Former Scotland international, Ally McCoist, has named Arsenal as the favourites to win the Premier League title this season.
McCoist also admitted that it is difficult for a team to defend the Premier League title.
Arsenal won the English top-flight league last season, and they will hope to defend the title.
“Arsenal, I think at this moment in time would be my favourites, just at the start of the tournament,” McCoist told talkSPORT.
“I think there’s improvement in Liverpool, and improvement in United. I think it will be interesting to see.
“Manchester City, we don’t know with no Pep, but I thought Rodri was outstanding at the World Cup.
“We have known how difficult it is to defend the league title, but I just think Arsenal, there’s no way they are certainties, but I would probably have them just starting as favourites,” he said.
