Sergio Aguero names two teams who will challenge Man City for Premier League title next season

Sergio Aguero snubbed Liverpool when naming the two teams that would challenge Manchester City for next season’s Premier League title.

At present it feels inevitable that City will challenge for the Premier League next term, however, their challengers are open for debate.

However, the other challengers next season are difficult to predict.

Aguero on Premier League title race

The former striker, who won the Premier League on five occasions with City, notably did not include Liverpool in the mix for next season.

For years, the Reds were Liverpool’s closest challengers and even claimed a Premier League of their own back in 2020.

Aguero said in a column for Stake: "City will continue to be a candidate next season. It has been shown that it is the best team in the Premier League, with a very clear style of play, which has won three consecutive titles, something difficult to achieve.

"Why not think then that you can get another? Surely, as he does every season, Pep will continue to make the adjustments he deems necessary to remain competitive. But this is the Premier League and it is football, there will be several teams that try to dethrone them.

"I think that Arsenal has established a very important base of young players with a long way to go. Mikel Arteta will try to reinforce his lines and will be one of the rivals to beat next season.

"We must not forget about Manchester United either, who have returned to their competitive spirit and will be one of those who most want to defeat City."
