Former midfielder names his Premier League and Champions League winnersDAZN
Who will be lifting the two biggest trophies this season?

The Premier League title race is one of the closest it's been in years, with a three-way tussle at the top of the table. 

Arsenal lead the way on goal difference ahead of Liverpool, with Manchester City a point further back in third place. 

With seven games left to play, there's sure to be plenty of twists and turns in the run-in, but former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage is still backing Pep Guardiola's side to retain their league title - and win back-to-back Champions Leagues. 

“Old Trafford is still a tough place to go and at the end of the day it is still Manchester United against Liverpool – it is one of the biggest games in world football,” he told  Planet Sport Bet’s podcast ‘On Another Planet’. 

“Any time a Liverpool team goes to Old Trafford and gets a point, it has to be considered a good point. In terms of the run-in, that point took them level with Arsenal and Liverpool have the easier run of games before the end of the season.

“You also have to look at the European competitions. I expect both Arsenal and Manchester City to progress into the Champions League semi-finals and that will play right into Liverpool’s hands. Right now I think Liverpool just have the edge in the title race. Percentage-wise I’d make it Liverpool 34%, with Arsenal and City both on 33%. It’s that close!

“However, I still think Manchester City will win the Premier League and also the Champions League. Liverpool have the easiest run-in in the Premier League and City and Arsenal are both still in the Champions League, so Liverpool are probably the favourites – but I still think City will win both.”
