England international Harry Kane is war of facing Manchester City in the Premier League next season. Tottenham star Harry Kane thinks Manchester City will be the Premier League team to beat again next season. Spurs tasted defeat twice against Pep Guardiola’s record-breakers last season as Mauricio Pochettino’s side finished the Premier League campaign an incredible 23-points behind the title-winners. City have added club-record signing Riyad Mahrez during the summer transfer window as Guardiola looks to somehow improve upon the miraculous achievements of the past year.
And World Cup Golden Boot winner Kane believes the Blues will once again set the example for the rest of the league to follow. “It will take a very good season (to challenge Manchester City ) but we’ve been up there for the last few years now,” Kane told Sky Sports News. “City had an amazing year last year but the Premier League is tough and it doesn’t always happen like that to go year on year so we’ve just got to focus on ourselves and see what we can do.” No side has managed to retain the English top division title since Manchester United did so in 2009, and Guardiola insists winning the league title remains his main ambition ahead of European success next season.
“It will be a huge mistake to think: ‘OK now we have the Premier League, we are now going to go for the Champions League instead’. Big mistake,” he told Sky Sports in May. “To be out of the Champions League and win the Premier League again, I’d sign it now. The Premier League is the most important thing. It gives you the consistency to arrive at the right moment, the Champions League is so complicated the opponents are so good, all of them. “The Premier League is the most important thing.”
