David Silva believes Arsenal are the only Premier League title contenders to Manchester City.

Only Arsenal, according to David Silva, are capable of challenging Manchester City for the Premier League title this season.

Last season, Mikel Arteta’s side were City’s closest opponents, but a disastrous finish saw them finish five points behind Pep Guardiola’s men, who went on to accomplish the triple.

Manchester United finished third last season but have had a mixed start this season, while Newcastle United were fourth last season but have suffered three defeats in their first four games this season.

David Silva believes Arsenal are the only Premier League title contenders to Manchester City.

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

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

‘This is Pep Guardiola’s ninth season at City. The first year he was adjusting to the Premier League, but they are now nearly unstoppable.

David Silva says his former club Manchester City are ‘almost unstoppable’

‘Arsenal are the only team I can see having a chance to challenge City. What about the rest? I don’t believe they can.

‘I watched almost all of City’s Champions League games last season; I couldn’t win it when I was there, but I’m very thrilled for the club that they were eventually able to do it.

‘They’ve earned it. The team and the fans both deserve to win the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup – the treble. It was an incredible accomplishment.’
