Graeme Souness believes four clubs are in contention for Premier League glory this season, marking an end of the recent dominance of Manchester City and Liverpool.
City have won four of the last five top-flight titles, with the Reds pushing them close on numerous occasions and snapping up the league crown in 2020. The two North-West clubs were head and shoulders above the other 18 teams in the division last season; 18 points separated runners-up Liverpool - who finished one point behind champions City - and third-place Chelsea.
Despite the vast gap, Jurgen Klopp has already insisted the table did not reflect the quality of the Blues and other teams involved in the top-four race. Souness appears to share this view, picking out Chelsea and Tottenham as two teams who could challenge at the summit in the upcoming campaign.
