As the business end of the campaign gets under way, our pundits reveal who they are backing to lift the Premier League Trophy this season.
Michael Owen: "My heart obviously says Liverpool, but my head says Manchester City are still the best team in England, so I think Man City will win the Premier League.
"Both teams have got lots to play for and of course there's Arsenal in there as well, but I do think Man City are just going to edge it."
Winner: Man City
Nedum Onuoha: "I really want Man City to win the title, but I think this year it's going to be Liverpool. Obviously Arsenal are in the mix, but I think Liverpool at this moment in time have a great run of form.
"They've got a manager going out at the end of the season. They've got the story. It almost feels like they're destined."
Winner: Liverpool
Darren Bent: "Arsenal will win the league because momentum is on their side, and they're getting a lot of their key players back.
"This time last season they lost a few to injury, but this season they seem to be coming back to full fitness. Mikel Arteta's squad will be more experienced than they were last season."
Winner: Arsenal
Karen Carney: "Man City will win the Premier League. I had them at the start of the season and I'm not going to change that.
"The experience and the legs in the squad and perhaps with the injuries that Liverpool have at this moment in time, I fancy City to win the title."
Winner: Man City
Steve Sidwell: "I think that it's going to be Liverpool who are going to clinch the title. There's something really special happening at Anfield at the moment.
"You've got the Jurgen Klopp factor. Him leaving, I think he's going to bow out with a title under his belt. The kids are pulling all the way through when they've got injuries. They're going to take it to the rest and Man City will just fall short."
Winner: Liverpool
Tim Sherwood: "Man City will win the title because I think Kevin De Bruyne will get back to his best, Jack Grealish is coming back to fitness and Erling Haaland normally comes into gear at this time of the season.
"Just the experience will see them through ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool, who will put up a great fight right till the end."
Winner: Man City
Jermaine Beckford: "A lot of people will say 'Arsenal? Why Arsenal? They fumbled it last season. City are strong, Liverpool are tied on points with them.'
"The way the Gunners recruited in the summer has been vital. They've got a couple of really good players. Arteta is a year more experienced, as are the players around him that he's working with."
Winner: Arsenal
Don Hutchison: "The title-winners this season will be Liverpool. The Klopp factor at home and the fact that Liverpool have five home games remaining could create an emotional environment for the team.
"Arsenal have got tricky games away from home. It's tight, but Liverpool win."
Winner: Liverpool
Flo Lloyd-Hughes: "Man City are going to win the title because they've been there and they've done that so many times.
"Yes, Liverpool look good. Yes, Arsenal look good. But the [Man City] squad is so deep, they haven't been impacted by injuries, and they just know how to get it done."
Winner: Man City
Darren Lewis: "The stars are aligning for Liverpool to win the title. Yes, Arsenal have the best defence in the Premier League and they've scored the most goals. City have got the experience. But there's just something romantic about this in Jurgen Klopp's final season at Anfield.
"That suggests they might pull it off. They have the same number of points as Arsenal, just fewer goals, but obviously the run-in as things go might just favour Liverpool."
Winner: Liverpool
Leon Osman: "I think Manchester City will win the Premier League this year because they just seem to know how to get the job done.
"They compete in all competitions. They always get better as the season goes on and they're getting De Bruyne back fit, Haaland is scoring goals and they've got the outstanding player of the season in my opinion in Phil Foden."
Winner: Man City
Leroy Rosenior: "I think Man City will win the title this year. I'm not as confident as I was at the start of the season because Arsenal have been magnificent. The best performance I've seen from them was against Newcastle, which was outstanding.
"Liverpool just seem to be picking up results no matter what injuries they get. But City have the know-how. De Bruyne and Haaland aren't at their top pace yet, and when they do I fancy City to take the title."
Winner: Man City
