Dimitar Berbatov Warns Man City of Fierce Title Competition
Manchester City have enjoyed a period of dominance in the Premier League, winning three consecutive titles under Pep Guardiola. However, former Man United striker Dimitar Berbatov has warned that the club will face fierce competition for the title next season.
Berbatov believes that Man City’s rivals, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, will all be looking to challenge for the title and that it will be ‘difficult’ for City to win a fourth consecutive title.
Manchester United
Berbatov believes that Man United should be aiming to win the Premier League title next season, as Erik ten Hag is now fully knowledgeable about everything going on at the club. He believes that the motivation should be to stop Man City’s domination.
Arsenal
Arsenal came close to winning their first league title since 2004 last season, eventually finishing five points behind Man City after a poor run-in. Berbatov believes that Arsenal will be one of the teams challenging Man City for the title next season.
Liverpool and Chelsea
Berbatov also expects Liverpool and Chelsea to improve next season and challenge for the title. Liverpool missed out on the Champions League for only the second time since Jurgen Klopp arrived at Anfield, while Chelsea endured a miserable campaign under three different managers, finishing in the bottom-half of the Premier League.
Conclusion
It looks set to be an exciting season in the Premier League next year, with Man City facing fierce competition from their rivals for the title. It remains to be seen which team will present the biggest challenge to Man City, but it is sure to be an exciting battle for the top spot.
