The Rangers’ forward premised his position on the fact that the Citizens have quality players.
Defoe, just like Paul Scholes, snubbed Chelsea who tops the English Premier League table with two points ahead of Manchester city.
Manchester United legend, Scholes was not however so sure of who will win the title between Liverpool and Manchester City he has chosen as favorites.
But Defoe, despite admitting that Liverpool currently appears terrifying said City will emerge victors at the end of this season’s league campaign.
Defoe was quoted by Metro UK to have said: “I still think that Manchester City are the team to beat.”

“Watching people saying they don’t have a number nine – they played with a false nine all of last season, without a proper number nine, [Sergio] Aguero didn’t play and they won the league.”
“For me, I still feel like they are the team to beat, with the options that they have got, the quality that they have got, bringing in Jack Grealish – [Raheem] Sterling doesn’t even start! And the know-how, they know how to do it.”
“I know Liverpool are looking good, and the front three are frightening – I think the front three of [Roberto] Firmino, [Mohamed] Salah and [Sadio] Mane are back to where they were before – but I still think that Man City are the team to beat.”
