Arne Slot and Mikel Arteta have both enjoyed strong starts to the season(Image: 2025 Liverpool FC)Bernardo Silva has admitted Liverpool and Arsenal's chances of winning the Premier League are currently greater than Manchester City's.
Silva signed for the Cityzens in 2017 and has only had two campaigns where he has not won the title with Pep Guardiola's side.
Liverpool pipped City to the title in 2020 before cruising to the title last season.
After dominating British football for so long, City endured a stuttering campaign last year, but still managed to finish in the top three.
Despite comfortably beating Manchester United 3-0 last weekend, City's title hopes have been knocked by a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Tottenham and a frustrating 2-1 away defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.
Considering their start to the campaign and the strong performances Arsenal and Arne Slot's side have put up this season, Silva believes his team are not the favourites to win the Premier League - though that doesn't necessarily mean anything just yet.

The Portuguese international said to the official Manchester City website: "I would say that Liverpool and Arsenal are the favourites but, it's the beginning and last season everyone said Manchester City were the favourites.
"Last season the favourites were Manchester City and Arsenal.
What we want is to come back to our level and get our level back to where we want it to be."

City bolstered their side this summer with the signings of Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Rayan Cherki, James Trafford and Gianluigi Donnarumma, who cost a total of around £170million.
They also spent £175m in the January transfer window, which saw Omar Marmoush, Nico Gonzalez, Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis arrive.
However, Liverpool's outlay this summer was even greater than both of City's windows combined, with Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong and Giovanni Leoni arriving for around £446m.
