David Silva believes only Arsenal are capable of challenging Manchester City for the Premier League title this season.

Mikel Arteta’s side were City’s closest rivals last season but a poor end to the campaign saw them finish five points behind Pep Guardiola’s men, who went on to complete the treble.

Manchester United finished third last season but have endured a mixed start, while Newcastle United secured the final Champions League place last term but have begun this campaign with three defeats from their opening four games.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have registered three wins so far and after strengthening the midfield with the signing of Declan Rice, Silva believes Arteta’s side will run City close again this season.

‘They [City] have an amazing team with some amazing players,’ Silva told The Mirror.

‘This is Pep’s eighth season at City. The first year he was getting used to the Premier League, but now they are almost unstoppable.

‘Arsenal are the only team I can see who maybe have a chance of challenging City. The rest? I don’t think they can.
