Manchester United legend Peter Schmeichel believes that Manchester City and Liverpool will face a stern test for the Premier League title.
The new season gets underway on Friday night when Arsenal travel to Crystal Palace. The Reds get their campaign underway with a trip to Fulham a day later, before City face West Ham at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Having been the two challengers for the title last term, Liverpool and City are expected to battle it out once again to be crowned England's best team. But Schmeichel has poured cold water over the idea that the duo will be as dominant as they were last season.
