Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says it's too soon to compare his champions with past great teams of the Premier League.

Guardiola insists they're not favourites for next season's title.

He explained: "To win the Premier League together is the most important title.

"I will never say we are the best team in the Premier League and not have respect for Arsenal, for what Arsene Wenger and Alex Ferguson did in different periods of his career with United. Or Chelsea in 2005 and 2006 (under Jose Mourinho). I agree with people saying that we have to win more at that level.

"Maybe you can say we were one of the best teams in one season. You can say that. But the minute people ask if we are one of the best teams, you have to win back to back, more titles in a row. I don't know if we are able to do that.

"For once, when the pundits say that, they are right. They say we are not the best team — and they are right."
