Former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich midfielder Xabi Alonso has predicted the team that will win the league title in the English top flight.

The ex-Liverpool player has predicted the team that will win the Premier League title and its not Manchester City.

Xabi Alonso made his prediction in a chat with BBC Sport as he backed his former club Liverpool for the title.

The ex-Spanish international midfielder is backing Liverpool despite the fact that the Reds lost out to Manchester City last season.

Liverpool missed out on the Premier League title by just a solitary point in the last campaign.

The Reds had 97 points while eventual champions Manchester City recorded 98 points to take the title for the second successive season.

Manchester City recorded 14 straight wins towards the end of last season to take the title.

Liverpool have started this season well and they are the early pacesetters after winning the first two Premier League matches.

The Reds are one of only two clubs to achieve the feat.

Arsenal are the other club to win the first two Premier League games of the season.

The two teams, Liverpool and Arsenal, will face each other in a week three fixture this season.
