Despite Arsenal’s strong form and Community Shield win against them, City’s inherent attacking firepower under Enzo Maresca keeps them as the primary danger.
Murphy notes that the ultimate outlook could still shift slightly depending on final business before the summer transfer window closes.
“It is always hard to call it now, especially when it feels like all the top teams have a lot of business to do before the transfer window shuts, but I can’t look past Arsenal as champions,” Murphy told BBC Sport.
“The main reasons being the momentum and confidence they will have from winning the Premier League already, but also the consistency of having the same manager and same players and just sprinkling even more quality on top.

“They have not lost any of their best players and they have got a group who know what the manager expects from them and are completely on board with it.
“I look at the firepower Man City have got and, whoever the manager is and whoever they are playing against, they are still going to be able to score a lot of goals and win a lot of games.
“I would still have them as being Arsenal’s nearest rivals.”
