With three teams separated by a single point at the top of the Premier League table, former Manchester United star Patrice Evra has had his say on the destination of the title.
Former Premier League champion Patrice Evra believes his former club Manchester United can “surprise people” but still considers Manchester City and Liverpool as favourites for the title.
Evra won five Premier League titles with United, the first in 2006-07 and the last in 2012-13. The club haven’t won another since 2013, though, with Manchester City claiming top spot in four of the last five seasons.
Pep Guardiola’s champions currently sit second in the table, with Arsenal clinging onto top spot thanks to their victory at Brentford on Sunday, However, Evra still sees two clear favourites in the race for the prize.
“It’s a crazy Premier League, there have been a lot of surprises,” Evra told Betfair. The favourites were Liverpool and City, but anything can happen. More games are coming and I always say you know more around December, but now we’ve got the World Cup. So, everything is weird.
“I think City and Liverpool are still the favourites, but you have so many others too including Tottenham, Arsenal, and Chelsea. Although, it’s really weird with Chelsea at the moment.
“United can surprise people now if they keep fighting like the way they have been doing, they can be there,” he added. After losing their first two games, Evra’s former club have won four in a row to climb back into the upper reaches of the table.
