Former Arsenal attacker Paul Merson backs Manchester City to win the Premier League title this season.

Former Arsenal attacker Paul Merson has backed Manchester City to reclaim the Premier League title this season.

However, the 45-year-old believes that Arsenal would be "massive dark horses" if they sign Liverpool forward Luis Suarez this summer.

"If I had to choose someone today, I would go for Man City - but I could be saying something completely different tomorrow if a few more players move," he told Sky Sports News.

"They have bought players in and had time to work on things. They look more solid at the back now; they were poor at times last year given the standard of the year before. So I'll say Man City, but if Suarez joins Arsenal, then they will be massive dark horses."

The Premier League season gets underway this weekend.
