Sky Sports legend Jeff Stelling has predicted the teams that will finish in the Premier League this season.
According to Stelling, Manchester United and Chelsea will miss out on Champions League places.
He has backed Liverpool, who are now managed by Arne Slot, to win the title ahead of defending champions Manchester City and Arsenal.
Stelling has tipped Newcastle United to secure the final top-four spot.
“I’ve got Arsenal second, but I haven’t gone for the title winner you might expect,” Stelling told talkSPORT.
“I’m going for Liverpool to win the title. People will think why are you overlooking Man City and I just think the team has been chipped away a bit over the last few years.
“Those 115 charges hanging over them must have an effect too. So I’ve gone for Liverpool, Arsenal and Man City as the top three.
“I don’t think Man United have enough depth and I would rule Chelsea right out [of the top-four race].
“If [Dominic] Solanke comes off, I think Spurs have a chance and Aston Villa do too if they can cope with the Champions League.
“Newcastle had a lot of injuries last season and I know a lot of clubs did but if they stay relatively injury-free, I think they can get fourth.”
