Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has tipped Arsenal to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title this season.<\/p>\n

Ferdinand was speaking on TNT Sports after the Gunners claimed a 1-0 win at Brentford.<\/p>\n

The result saw Mikel Arteta\u2019s men go top of the table after 13 points, following a 1-1 draw between Manchester City and Liverpool in the early kick-off.<\/p>\n

According to Ferdinand, Arsenal\u2019s centre-back partnership of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, give them an edge over the Reds in the title race.<\/p>\n

Arsenal have the best defence in the Premier League so far this season, conceding just 10 goals in 13 games.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two centre-backs, they\u2019ll be the reason why I would put them ahead of Liverpool in the title race to challenge someone like Manchester City.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause you can trust those two implicitly at the moment,\u201d Ferdinand said.<\/p>\n
