Which team will win the English Premier League this season? Well, Paris Saint Germain forward Neymar has tipped Manchester City to retain the title while ruling Liverpool out of a top 4 finish.
The Brazilian has dived into a debate regarding who has what it takes to win this season’s English Premiership. Despite Liverpool currently sitting at the top of the table after successfully winning their four opening matches, Neymar feels Jurgen Klopp’s side will be locked out of the top four. Chelsea and Watford follow suit with 12 points as well and Manchester City comes in to complete the top four after accumulating 10 points.
Last season’s second and third placed sides Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur are currently ranked 10th and 5th with six and nine points respectively.
“Who will win it? Woah, that’s difficult. It’s very hard, it’s very difficult, but Manchester City will win it. The second will be United, third is Chelsea. Fourth is Tottenham,” said Neymar upon being asked about the teams he believe will still be in the top 4 come to the end of the Premier League season.

Considering the form that Liverpool is in, many believe the 26-year-old Brazilian deliberately left them out in a bid to provoke a reaction from the club’s fans. It is worth noting that the Paris Saint-Germain stalwart and his teammate will come face-to-face with Jurgen Klopp’s side in the group stage of this season’s UEFA Champions League.
