A former Premier League star, who was recently in Cape Town, has picked his favourites to walk away with the English top-flight title this season.
With just one point separating the team in third place from the top two, former Manchester City and Chelsea attacker Shaun Wright-Phillips, who was in Cape Town just last week, has admitted that although it is the most entertaining title race he has seen thus far, he still expects the Citizens to pip Liverpool and Arsenal and become English champions.

"The title race has been the best title race I've seen since I've been involved in football. To have three teams that neck-and-neck is, for me, unbelievable and I've got a feeling next year there will be a lot more, but for this one, I still believe City will win it," he said at an event hosted by Manchester City and PUMA as part of the side's global Trophy Tour.
"I just think they [City] have what it takes to deal with the competitions they're in and they've shown it, hence the trophies that they have.
"I think from an Arsenal standpoint, I don't know if they have the quality off the pitch. Because they're still in the Champions League and there's going to come a point where they have to rotate.
"Bearing in mind they might have injuries, do they have what it takes? They might do. But they're a fantastic team and you can't really be disrespectful to the teams out there because they're in that title race for a reason.
"Arsenal and Liverpool are scoring goals for fun at the minute. City are picking up results and winning.
"But that table can turn at any given point. At the end of the day, it's about putting three points on the board. And I was with somebody before, and he said, 'Well, we [Arsenal] are going to be here at the Etihad.
"I said, 'Okay, if you beat us at the Etihad, I think you're going to win the league'. He doesn't, because they've still got to play Spurs. They've still got to play, I think, Aston Villa.
"And City are in a similar situation. In front of 10 games they've got coming up, I still think teams are somewhere along the line from the drop point. It's just whether the teams around them are going to capitalise when they actually do, because it's that close.
"Arsenal lose to City, City win. City draw, Arsenal win. Then they're back at the same place. So I think it's going to take the concurrent run of games. Like City win two games back-to-back. Arsenal draw one, lose one against City. Then the gaps start to open.
"But for me, City have got more than enough to do what they need to do to win the title. And I think they know that as well. But it's a game-by-game situation, which they seem very good at.
