Guardiola going 'back to basics' for Man City repeat attempt

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City will go 'back to basics' to try and repeat their 2017/18 Premier League title success.

The Citizens have signed just one player, Riyad Mahrez, this summer. And with his team in a similar state, Guardiola expects next season to be a continuation of their tried and tested methods.

"We have the same players except one person, Mr Toure. He's gone but it's the same squad.

"Riyad [Mahrez] has come to help us in front and give us the quality that he has. We're going to try to continue to improve in what we started two seasons ago.

"What happened last season was a consequence of the previous season and we will try to come back to the basics and make a good season."
