Manchester City look like the firm favourites to lift another league title but Liverpool and Chelsea from the chasing pack will try and do everything in their might to stop the defending champions.

Sadio Mane has been wasteful in front of goal off late and needs to improve his form. Diogo Jota should play down the middle with the brilliant Mo Salah on the right flank.
