'Title race will be between Liverpool and Man City' - McAteer rules out Chelsea or Leicester winning Premier League

A former Red cannot see anybody but the reigning champions stopping his old club from ending a 30-year wait for domestic glory

Liverpool and Manchester City are still involved in a two-horse race for the Premier League title despite the emergence of Chelsea and Leicester City, according to Jason McAteer.

The Reds opened up an eight-point lead at the summit after beating City at Anfield 3-1 last Sunday, leaving Pep Guardiola's side languishing in fourth spot.

Leicester have risen to second in the standings on goal difference ahead of Chelsea, with both sides defying pre-season expectations to emerge as genuine top-four contenders.
