Manchester United legend Andy Cole sees the title staying in Manchester this season.
The former Manchester City striker can't see any London teams testing the big Northwest duo.
He told Absolute Radio: "Well it's a long way to go, but me personally, I really do believe it's coming down to one of the Manchester clubs.
"I think Man United are finding some good form at the moment and then the craziest thing about that as well Man United are finding some good form and Man City have not found any real form at the moment but still winning games. But that's what champions have to do."
Cole was speaking to Ian Wright of Absolute Radio Rock n' Roll Football. Every Saturday from 5pm on 1215AM. For more visit absoluteradio.co.uk/football.
