Glenn Hoddle backs Chelsea to win the Premier League despite being 'outplayed' by Man City

Glenn Hoddle has given his Premier League winners prediction.

The former England manager turned pundit has stated that he believes Chelsea will win the title.

However, he adds that they are not the best team in the league - picking Manchester City as the best side he's seen so far.

Chelsea currently remain three points clear of City at the top of table - with their only loss coming to Pep Guardiola' side earlier this season.

And while Hoddle has been hugely impressed with City this season, he explained why he's picking Chelsea over them to the league title.

Speaking on TalkSPORT, when asked who he believes will win the Premier League, Hoddle quickly replied: "Chelsea.

"I saw them be outplayed by Man City. Chelsea couldn't get near them, but they don't have to play them every week.

"I think Chelsea are the more consistent team."

Hoddle went on to add that although he believes Chelsea will win the league, he feels Manchester City are currently the best team in the world.

He said: "They have so much of the ball and they change and open the angles.

"They can overplay, but for me, I think it's wonderful the way they play - I think they're the best team in the world.

"City cause you too many problems - teams have to take risks and it's a real test."
