Pep Guardiola says Premier League leaders Liverpool are favourites for the title after his Manchester City side drew with second-placed Arsenal on Sunday.
Liverpool hold a two-point lead over the Gunners after beating Brighton at Anfield, with City a further point back in third.
"Always who is first is favourite," said Guardiola when asked if Liverpool were "clear favourites" to win the league.
"The second favourite is Arsenal and we are third. It's not in our hands."
Guardiola's City, who host fourth-placed Aston Villa on Wednesday, are aiming for a record fourth title in a row and second successive Treble.
