Former Liverpool star John Arne Riise has claimed that the Premier League is a two-horse race between Liverpool and Man City.
That bold statement from Riise comes with Arsenal currently top of the table. Find out why he thinks Arsenal won’t keep pace with the other two plus his take
Premier League Title Race Between Liverpool & Man City
I think Manchester City will be the hardest opponent up until the end of the season. I think Arsenal have the hardest fixtures. I do feel Arsenal will drop points but I don't think City will. Liverpool are one point ahead so if they win all their games they will win the league because Arsenal will drop points, but I have a feeling City will win it.
City have been so good, they were behind last year and they still turned it around. I hope Liverpool will do it. Even though Arsenal are top now, I think it will be between Liverpool and City.

Premier League Title Would Be Fairytale Ending For Klopp
If Klopp wins the Premier League everyone will be happy, and I think that would be enough. That's the one he really wants to win. But winning the Europa League would be huge as well. Being so close and losing now will be hugely disappointing for one of the three teams.
At the start of the season, I was not convinced we were going to be title contenders because of the new midfield. I didn't think we would be fighting for a title so I'm happy so far. But now we're so close, I'll be disappointed if we lose it. It's the perfect ending for Klopp.
Liverpool v Crystal Palace Prediction
I don't think Atalanta and Crystal Palace will be easy but I still think Liverpool will win. Everyone is looking at Palace now because they need to keep going. I saw Palace against City at the weekend and if Liverpool are up to speed, I think it should be three points.
But the thing about the Premier League is that you think you know how a game will go, but something can always happen. I'm hoping for two wins and Liverpool need to beat Palace.
Prediction: I think it will be 3-0 to Liverpool.

Conor Bradley In Race For Young Player of the Year Award
Conor Bradley is up there for young player of the season, he has surprised everyone. He's brilliant. His aggression, his passion. He has no fear and takes on people. He's a perfect example of what Klopp can do with young players. He lets them go out and have a go. I think he's been outstanding.
He reminds me of Steve Finnan a little bit, but I think Bradley is better going forward. He's more of an attacking threat than Finnan was. Finnan was Mr Dependent, he was always so calm and composed. Defensively, yes.
How Much Would Someone Like Finnan Be Worth in Today’s Market?
All full-backs need to be up and down, creating chances and scoring goals. I'm sure he could do that if he was told to do that.
He rarely made mistakes, you could trust him and he could handle any opponent. He would be a huge signing for any club now.
Man City Star To Win Premier League Player of the Year
Van Dijk and Mac Allister have been unbelievable but I do feel Phil Foden and Declan Rice are a little bit ahead for player of the season, especially with Rice going to a new club and all the pressure of that price tag. He's been unbelievable for Arsenal. The centre-backs for Arsenal have also been brilliant.
But if I'm going to guess, I think Foden will win. It all depends on who wins the Premier League. If Arsenal win, Rice will win it. Odegaard too has been unbelievable. If City win it, Foden will win it. If Liverpool win it, I think Foden will win it.
Kelleher is the Best No.2 In the World
Kelleher has always proved how important he is to Liverpool. His future depends on what he wants. He's part of a massive club at Liverpool, but is it more important for him to play every game? If it is, he should go to another club and play because he's unbelievable. But who will he go to? He looks happy and has played a lot this season.
You never know about Alisson and his injuries, and Liverpool have the best number two in the world. It will be hard for Liverpool to keep him because he's that good.
Is There Anyone Else in Football You Would Like to See Liverpool Sign This Summer?
Liverpool's transfer targets all depend on who they appoint as a manager. I would have loved Martin Odegaard to have picked Liverpool over Arsenal! He has taken unbelievable steps there, he's a different player now so all credit to him.
It depends on who is leaving and who comes in as a manager. Is Van Dijk going to stay? Is Salah going to stay?
