The Premier League season kicks off tonight, with Manchester City looking to extend their record by winning a fifth title in a row. 

Pep Guardiola's men finished two points clear of Arsenal last season, and once again, it's the Gunners who are looking the most likely to try and stop City's dominance. 

It's set to be another enthralling title race, and speaking exclusively to DAZN, thanks to AceOdds, Gabby Agbonlahor has been running down the contenders ahead of the new campaign. 

The former Villa striker believes that City, Arsenal, and Liverpool will all challenge, and he has tipped who he thinks will lift the trophy. 

He said: "If you look at last season, Manchester City winning the league, Liverpool finished nine points behind Manchester City which isn't a lot of points. It's three games, three defeats for Man City, Liverpool matched them. 

"Liverpool have a new manager.I really do think that Jurgen Klopp saying that he was going to leave so early affected the players in a negative way and they didn't perform in the last three months as you'd expect them to. So, I think Liverpool can challenge them if everyone's fit.

"Arsenal finished two points behind Manchester City, that's nothing. The season before was five points. So, if you look at it, five points to two points, what's next? It's to go and win the league. They've brought in the perfect center back, left back in Calafiori. I think he's going to be the difference because there were so many games last season where you're like, Zinchenko, no, you're looking at Tomiyasu, you're like, no.

"They've got now a strong left back who can play with the ball, he can also cover a center half. You've got Timber available, who's like a new signing.
 
"So basically, they've got two new defenders added to that team, who I think they conceded maybe 19 Premier League goals, if I'm not mistaken. They didn't concede a lot of Premier League goals. So, I think Arsenal is the team that I would say, it's neck and neck, I couldn't call it."
