Manchester United and Manchester City are the only two clubs that can challenge Liverpool for the Premier League title, believes Tony Cascarino.
The Red Devils managed a 2-1 win over Aston Villa on Friday night thanks to a penalty from Bruno Fernandes in the second half, which put them in line with Liverpool on points.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men are now only second on goal difference and talkSPORT host Cascarino believes that only United and their bitter rivals City can prevent Liverpool from retaining their crown.
“This season is going to be really unique. Liverpool is not that good and I have said it from the beginning, ”he told the Weekend Sports Breakfast.
“The title is going to go between the two Manchester clubs and Liverpool.
“I don’t see Tottenham or Chelsea.
“There is still work to be done between those two clubs.”

Casc also suggested that United’s fitness levels have improved significantly and that will help them in their fight for the title as Premier League clubs battle the busy holiday schedule.
He added: “There were a lot of players who looked in very good physical shape. They are much better than last season and the condition is huge in sports and athletes.
“United proved it last night.”
Liverpool can go three points clear at the top of the Premier League if they beat Southampton on Monday night.
