Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva believes that Liverpool will provide a tough challenge for the Premier League title this season.
The Reds are in brilliant form and comfortably defeated Cardiff City 4-1 in their most recent league encounter at Anfield.
Manchester City beat Tottenham earlier in the week to reclaim the top spot but Liverpool, City and Chelsea remain unbeaten after the first ten league matches.
Silva admitted that Chelsea and Arsenal can also be considered to be title challengers at the moment.
City and Liverpool drew 0-0 earlier in the season in a tense battle, with both sides defending well to come away with a point.
As quoted on the Mirror, he said:
Of course, it will be very hard [to win the Premier League]. 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.
The midfielder noticeably left out rivals Manchester United, who are in eighth place.
Liverpool can further strengthen their title claims as they face Arsenal on the weekend and a victory against Unai Emery will send a warning to Chelsea and City.
