Arne Slot’s side are now in the bottom half of the table (Picture: Getty) But Redknapp was quick to dismiss Liverpool as a contender this season after their latest defeat, insisting it would be a ‘miracle’ if his former side managed to retain the title they won so comprehensively last season. ‘Yeah look we can forget Liverpool,’ he told Sky Sports. ‘They have had a few mentions tonight, but forget Liverpool. ‘They cannot win the Premier League this year. They’ve got the best squad, best organised, and they’ve been the best over the last four or five years.’ Manchester City saw their title hopes dented with a defeat at Newcastle (Picture: Getty) Former England striker Alan Shearer noted his ‘concern’ with City’s porous defence after their defeat to Newcastle, and Redknapp argees that Pep Guardiola’s side are still some way behind the Gunners in terms of consistency and squad depth. ‘What Manchester City have done previously, where they would go on 12 13, 14 game winning runs, is this team capable of doing it?

They’re in such a strong position defensively, they’re really good ‘But for Man City, it’s just a case of what else can they win?

They’re really exciting side and they’ve got really good players. ‘But as we just said there, they’ve lost the last two away games against Aston Villa, who have not been in the best of form, and they’ve gone to Newcastle and lost. ‘And you’re thinking, when they were the team that we all admired, when they were winning titles after title, they would go there and win and find a way, but right now, I just don’t think that’s possible. ‘Are they still playing well? Yes, they can play the game like they did against Liverpool where they dispatched them, but I just don’t see this Manchester City side as strong as the previous ones just yet.
