Phil Foden insists Manchester City are still the team to beat in the Premier League.

After losing the title to Liverpool in 2020, City roared back with a stunning title win last season.

And following the signing of Jack Grealish from Aston Villa, Foden thinks Pep Guardiola's squad is strong enough to defend their title.

"I believe once you've won it it's really hard to retain it so going into the season we're going to be the team to beat," the City midfielder told Sky Sports News.

"But we're gonna have to live up to that with the players we've got, I'm confident and just can't wait to go."

He added: "I dont really know there's so many great teams, that's the fun of the Premier League,' he added.

"Everyone's strengthened so it's going to be a really challenging season."
