<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">In the chase for the Premier League championship last season, Man City finished one point ahead of Liverpool.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">Surprisingly, Chelsea, who ended third, fell 18 points short of Liverpool.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">“I think City will be the team to beat again,” Ferdinand told Mirror Football.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">“They’ve strengthened again, they have got [Erling] Haaland in and Kalvin Phillips. They have lost [Raheem] Sterling, yes, but they have got a deep squad and players that can play multiple positions.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">“And they have got the experience of winning. Liverpool will push them hard again.”</span></p>
