Sir Alex Ferguson has included Arsenal on a list of five potential Premier League champions – but does not mention Chelsea.
The former Manchester United manager has been talking to German magazine Kicker about the title race.
Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool are currently top on 20 points while Chelsea and Tottenham are a point behind; United are a further five point adrift (behind Everton).
“It’s harder to predict than it was for many years,” says Ferguson, who has lauded the job done by Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool.
“I think there’s five potential candidates: Manchester City as favourites, Tottenham and Liverpool, but also Man United are still there if we get some consistency soon.
“Even when you are trailing by six, eight points, it’s still possible to catch one or two teams.
“The rivalry and the experience of Guardiola and Mourinho makes for an exciting competition. And you shouldn’t forget Arsenal. The team is more sturdy.”
