Raheem Sterling has revealed who he thinks are the favourites to win the Premier League this season - and he is in no mood for modesty.

Manchester City trail Leicester and Arsenal in the title race after 16 matches, but the England winger still believes he and his teammates are best placed to come out on top in May.

When asked who he perceives to be the favourites in the race for the title, Sterling told the BBC: "Man City. I know I'm going to be biased, but I think we have the team to top it at the end of the season, most definitely."

Sterling became the most expensive English footballer in history over the summer, when he moved to the Etihad from Liverpool.

It was a controversial switch, with the youngster refusing to pen a new deal at Anfield, before finally sealing a move away for £49million.

Despite the hefty price tag, Sterling insists he doesn't feel the pressure.

"Probably when I first heard about it, but now it's gone out of my head," he added. "I'm in a new place now, I feel like I'm at home.

"Every day I come into training I don't think about that fee, because I'm trying to do my best for the club and repay the people that have had faith in me. That's something I will be trying to do in the near future."
