Manchester City captain Kyle Walker says the Premier League title is “ours to lose” as they look to win an unprecedented fifth in a row in 2024-25.

City became the first team to win four successive titles last season, holding off a challenge from Arsenal to clinch another championship on the final day of the season.

The England international has been a regular member of all four of those triumphs and has six in total, as well as playing a key role in winning the Treble in 2022-23.

And the 34-year-old says Pep Guardiola’s side are motivated more than ever to keep creating history.

He told BBC Radio 5 live: “I wouldn’t say it’s an ego, but we’ve done this now four times in a row – this is our trophy to lose.

“I can assure you, when you’re looking down at your arm and you’ve got that gold badge that no-one else has got it’s a good feeling. Long may it continue.

“For us to go and do four in a row off the back of a Treble was a great achievement. To pick yourself up and go again after such a high, plus we won the Super Cup and Club World Cup as well, was especially important.

“Now, why can’t we go and do five in a row? Why can’t we go and do something I don’t think will probably be ever be done again? That’s the motivation we have to create from us as a group of players, from me as a captain.”

Man City begin their Premier League campaign against Chelsea on Sunday at Stamford Bridge.
