The Premier League title race is down to three teams, according to Teddy Sheringham.

Liverpool head into the weekend as league leaders, with Manchester City five points back. Sheringham believes those two sides will be in the race until the very end along with Arsenal, who currently sit in fourth behind Chelsea.

"The Premier League title is going to be between Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal," Sheringham told Best Offshore Sportsbooks. "I can’t see any other team performing consistently enough to break into that group and challenge.

"I think Chelsea have been impressive, but I don't think they'll be as consistent as the top three that are in there. Liverpool are looking fantastic at the moment, but I think they'll have their little troughs. Manchester City, they're going to come good again at some stage. Arsenal are the other ones in the title hunt as well, and they will want to close the gap quickly so that they're not out of the race as well."

For Sheringham, who won four Premier League titles as a player with Manchester United, the Gunners can consider themselves fortunate that it's Liverpool atop the standings right now rather than the Sky Blues.

"I think the good point from Arsenal is that it's Liverpool out in front and not Man City because Man City are the ones that know how to close things and Liverpool are still under a new manager," he said. "As brilliant as they’ve been this season, I have my doubts about them going the distance.

"I don’t think anyone could say with certainty that they will win the league because you're not sure what you’re going to get from them over the entire season with it being Arne Slot’s first campaign at the club."
