MANCHESTER CITY star Bernardo Silva has predicted who will challenge his side for the Premier League title.
Silva has helped City to an unbeaten start this season as they look to defend their title.
Pep Guardiola’s side romped to the trophy last campaign, finishing 19 points clear of second-placed Manchester United.
Liverpool and Chelsea appear to be the closest challengers to the Etihad outfit this term, with Jurgen Klopp’s side level on points with City on 26 after ten games.
Chelsea sit two points adrift with Arsenal on 22 while United have made a stuttering start to the season.
The 13-time Premier League winners have won just five games this season and are already nine points off the table-toppers.
And Silva has named the four teams that could challenge Manchester City, snubbing United.
"I think it will be harder because last season nobody was expecting us to win as many games and to reach that level of points, so this season the teams know they have to do better to beat us," he said.
"Of course it will be very hard, but we will work every game to get the three points and at the end of it try and celebrate winning one more Premier League.
"I think either Chelsea and Liverpool (are contenders), they are very strong, Arsenal as well.
“Even Tottenham, even though they lost, they're still contenders."
While Silva believes Spurs can still challenge, pundit Chris Sutton disagrees.
Following a 1-0 defeat to City on Monday, Sutton said: “This isn't a confident Tottenham side. It is just not clicking.
“If Spurs go out of the League Cup in midweek with a limp against West Ham, there will be more questions asked.
“Do this team look like pushing for the title? They look miles off.
“This is why City will take some shifting.

A Weymouth woman and three co-defendants pleaded guilty in Suffolk Superior Court to staging car crashes to collect phony insurance claims.
Laura Battista, 58, of Weymouth, was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay $12,941 in restitution and perform 100 hours of community service.
William Penta, 44, of Revere, was given a two-year suspended sentence and two years of probation, ordered to pay $4,304 in restitution and to perform 40 hours of community service.
Janet Vaccari, 46, of Reading, was sentenced to five years of probation and ordered to pay $8,420 and perform 100 hours of community service. Her daughter, Deana Pistone, 25, of Wakefield, was given two years of probation and 40 hours of community service.
All of the defendants pleaded guilty to motor vehicle insurance fraud and larceny charges.
Two other defendants, Fred Battista, 46, of Revere and David Forlizzi, 47, of Hudson, N.H., still are awaiting trial.
Forlizzi and Battista were employees of Winthrop Collision center and paid people to submit the phony insurance claims between May 2006 and June 2007, prosecutors said.
In one incident, Vaccari submitted a claim to her insurer, Plymouth Rock Assurance Corp., stating she had been involved in an accident with Laura Battista. The insurer paid both women, and Vaccari signed her check over to the collision center, prosecutors said.
Authorities said David Forlizzi helped Vaccari stage the accident with the help of Laura Battista and her stepson, Fred Battista.
In another incident, William Penta submitted a claim to National Grange Mutual Insurance after stating he had struck a parked vehicle belonging to Laura Battista. Investigators determined Penta had known Fred Battista before the accident and became involved in the scheme.
The attorney general�s office began investigating the claims in July 2007 after a referral from the Insurance Fraud Bureau.
Dubai Municipality said that the orange colour that appeared today in the man-made water canal in Dubai Marina is due to excavation works related to a construction project at Qarn Al Sabkha, which links the rainwater drainage system to the canal. The discolouration in the water canal poses no threat to marine life or h...
The Municipality added that the discolouration has now almost completely disappeared and the water condition is close to normal.
The Municipality also said that it has taken all necessary measures to ensure there is no further leakage from the drainage system.
Dubai Municipality further said that it has collected water samples and analysed them to identify the reason for the contamination of the water and the change in the colour. It stressed that it follows a clear protocol to deal with such emergency situations.
The Municipality said in a statement that initial investigation showed that the change in the colour is due to Bentonite, which reached the water canal through the water drainage system. Bentonite is generally used in excavation works as drilling mud, a binder and a barrier to groundwater.
The Municipality also said that chemically Bentonite is composed of absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate and water. Bentonite powder comes in different colours.
The Municipality said that it has put in place clear safety procedures to tackle any challenges to the environment efficiently and safely. It also has plans and processes in place to protect the health of people and preserve the environment.
Martin O'Neill will quiz £5m star John Carew over allegations he broke an Aston Villa curfew on the eve of the club’s big night back in Europe.
Villa boss O’Neill wants answers after the 29-year-old striker was allegedly spotted in a Birmingham nightspot in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Carew was missing from the 18-man squad to face Ajax in the UEFA Cup later that night – but not because of the allegations. He had reported feeling under the weather all week and boss O’Neill decided to rest him as a precaution.
Now Carew could face a club fine of up to £100,000 if he fails to satisfy allegations that he was out on the town.
Carew sat in the stand for 2-1 win over the Dutch side despite blood tests turning up nothing untoward as to why he should not be feeling 100 per cent.
Only later did O’Neill become aware of rumours that the Norwegian might have been in breach of a curfew anyway and has now ordered an internal investigation.
Suggestions on fans’ websites that O’Neill had dropped his goal ace because of the supposed breach appear not to be the case.
But Carew, who recently signed a new £50,000-a-week contract, can expect to pick up a fine of two weeks’ wages if it’s proved he was out when he shouldn’t have been.
The player had blood tests at O’Neill’s suggestion after he complained of feeling lethargic. Those examinations revealed nothing to cause alarm.
The first thing to know about Castle of our Skins is that it’s a Roxbury-based concert and education series of classical music by black composers, past and present, and that it will kick off its fourth season on Saturday with “A Veil of Liquid Diamonds,” a program of works by the Ohio-based African-American composer Je...
Their solution was research, and lots of it. Gordon spent a week at the Center for Black Music Research in Chicago and came up with stacks of music, much of it largely unknown. Castle of our Skins repertoire now stretches from composers born in the 19th century such as William Grant Still and Florence Price to current ...
Castle’s new season is a busy one. In addition to Saturday’s concert, there will be an “edu-tainment” concert of string quartets in the courtyard of the Boston Public Library that’s part of ArtWeek Boston (Oct. 1); a contribution to Franklin Park Art Grove called “A House of My Own,” exploring the concept of home throu...
Gordon’s hopes for Castle are ambitious, but they seem right for a world that more often than not seems agonizingly divided.
“I really believe, with everything we’re doing, if you explore a little bit from our lens, being African-Americans, from your own vantage point, explore a little bit your own culture, and encourage other people to do the same, hopefully it trickles down and encourages others to be more curious about each other.
KIERAN Hayler's new girlfriend Michelle Pentecost has become a "second mum" to his children from his marriage to Katie Price.
Pals told The Sun Online how Michelle even has rooms at her home for Jett, four, and three-year-old Bunny and has bought them brand new beds to make them feel at home.
It comes after Kieran and Michelle were spotted looking loved up during a day out at Spook Fest, in Tulleys Farm, West Sussex.
They looked like a picture perfect family as they strolled along together.
Insiders close to the couple told The Sun Michelle was "brilliant" with Jett and Bunny and said "treats them like her own".
A source added: "Michelle is so good with Jett and Bunny is becoming a second mother figure to them.
"They adore her and Kieran loves how good she is with them.
"Kieran spends a lot of time at Michelle's house so to make Jett and Bunny feel at home she bought them brand new beds.
"There's a lot going on in their lives right now and she's bringing stability and comfort to them."
Kieran and Michelle looked smitten as they strolled around the event hand-in-hand.
The children looked to be having the time of their lives - Bunny was seen laughing as her doting dad threw her up in the air.
An onlooker who spotted them together told The Sun Online: "They looked like a perfect family unit.
"They looked as though they were enjoying every second of being together with the kids and their pals.
"Kieran kept smiling and looking at Michelle. It was really sweet and they seemed very much in love."
While Kieran's life is going from strength-to-strength, Katie, 40, has endured a tough few weeks.
Earlier this month she was arrested on suspicion of drink-driving.
She checked into a residential treatment facility but pulled out after just 24 hours.
The former glamour model is still working with therapists the Priory as an outpatient.
Over the weekend Katie and her mum Amy were spotted filming for the next series of her reality TV show.
The Sun Online previously revealed how Kieran would appear on the series, despite their split.
A friend explained:"At first, Kieran was off the show and Katie said she’d never let him appear onscreen again with her.
"But now relations have thawed a bit and they’re being civil for the kids, she’s agreed to let him appear in the third series.
"Bosses know that there will be drama and the next series can’t happen without it.
"It can’t be all about how loved-up Katie is with Kris.
"Kieran is happy to do it for a pay cheque and he’ll appear with Bunny and Jett."
Sure enough, Lamar’s record made the list, along with Childish Gambino (“Awaken, My Love!”); Jay-Z (“4:44″); Lorde (“Melodrama”); and Bruno Mars (“24K Magic”). But Sheeran was nowhere to be found, much to the devastation of his fans — although “÷ (Divide)” did land a nod for best pop vocal album.
However, that depends on how you look at the alternative rock band Garbage: While Shirley Manson is the lead singer, the group also includes Butch Vig, Duke Erikson and Steve Marker. (In fact, Manson was the last member to join the band.) So if you count Garbage and search through every other album of the year category...
In an interview Tuesday with Variety, Recording Academy president Neil Portnow acknowledged the diversity of this year’s nominees and credited it to the large pool of voting members; there are about 13,000 overall. Plus, the Grammys opened up online voting for the first time this year, which led to a wider range of bal...
He also explained that Sheeran being relegated to the pop album category is not necessarily a snub but simply indicative of where the voters thought he belonged.
“In terms of Ed and the recordings he made, certainly our voters thought highly of him and he is nominated [for two awards]. In terms of where he’s nominated, that’s our members’ call and I have to respect that,” Portnow added.
The Grammy Awards will air Jan. 28 on CBS.

THE chief executive of British car manufacturer Lotus won't be driving any of his company's motors for at least a month after being slapped with a ban for speeding.
Jean-Marc Gales was caught doing 102mph in a 70mph zone on the A11 while test driving one of Lotus' new sports cars.
Gales was given a 30-day ban and fined £666 after he was clocked by police using a hand-held device as he went 32mph over the limit on the dual carriageway near Norwich, Norfolk.
Surprisingly, the Luxembourg-born businessman asked his lawyer to favour a ban from Norwich magistrates in order to avoid having more points added to the eight he already has on his licence.
If he had been given three extra points it would have pushed him closer to having 12 points which can lead to a six month ban.
His solicitor Simon Nicholls argued that a short ban was preferable as it was “vital” that Gales was able to test drive new Lotus cars himself on the road, and that although Lotus had engineers to take new cars on the road, as head of Lotus he liked to test the cars personally and see how they handled.
Simon Nicholls said: "He (Gales) travels to this country Monday to Friday to develop Lotus cars along with its Chinese backers.
“Of course he was driving very carefully but was not driving in accordance with the speed limit.
Along with the 30-day ban and £666 fine, Gales was ordered to pay costs of £100 and a victim surcharge of £66.
Presiding magistrate Mary Wyndham said Gales should avoid using the A11 to test his cars in future and stick to the test track.
Geely, the Chinese car maker that owns Volvo and London Taxi Company completed its purchase of a majority stake in Lotus last September.
The company has introduced a number of models including the fastest Lotus yet, the Evora GT430 which does 196mph and costs £112,500.
Gales previously worked for a string of high-profile motor manufacturers and associated companies.
The Lotus CEO was executive director at Opel and Saab from 2004 until 2006, before becoming global sales director at Mercedes-Benz from 2006 to 2009.
He then took up the role of president at French car manufacturer, PSA Peugeot, Citroën until 2012.
Before joining Lotus, he was CEO of a group representing automotive suppliers in Europe.
