Man City will prepare to fight for Premier League title next season – Pep Guardiola

With Liverpool on the verge of lifting its first Premier League title in 30 years, Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has said the focus of the club is now to qualify for the Champions League and fight for the title again next season.

Liverpool only needs City to draw against Burnley at the Etihad Stadium tonight and a win against Crytal Palace on Wednesday at Anfield to wrap up the title.

Speaking ahead of next season, the for Bayern Munich manager said he has “ideas for the transfer market” as he plans to reinforce for the Premier League title next season. City, which is currently the champions have won the last two Premier League titles.

Guardiola pointed out that there has not been much wrong with what the team has achieved in terms of points and performance, but City will prepare and try to regain the title again next season after taking  60 points from 29 games this season.

“We have ideas for the transfer market, then next season we will prepare to fight again. Out of the last nine (domestic) trophies we have fought for, we have won eight. That is not bad, and I think next season we will do it again.”

While admitting that Liverpool will remain the strong team, as they will also make some reinforcement, Guardiola said City retained the title, being the first team to do it for ten years, outlining how difficult it is to succeed in the top flight.
