Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi believes Manchester City are favourites for the Premier League title next season.

After winning the league for the past two years, the Nigerian thinks Pep Guardiola’s side will be the team to catch once again:

“I’m sure every club’s going to invest and try and get their team right. Pre-season’s coming up really soon, so everyone’s trying to get ready for the season to start.”

“It’s hard to say right now whether Man City are going to dominate, but they could be favourites, considering they won it again.”

When asked for his thoughts on Arsenal, Iwobi believes the Gunners should be focusing on a top-four finish as well as a good run in the cup competitions:

“The whole team would want to improve on the previous season we had and try to get to that Champions League. And, if not, win as many competitions, including the Europa League as well.”

Iwobi is currently away on international duty with Nigeria at the African Cup of Nations. He started both wins against Burundi and Guinea in the group stages.

He is expected to be in the first eleven once again when the Super Eagles face Madagascar in the final group match.

Nigeria have already qualified for the round of 16 and if they make it all the way to the final, it could mean Iwobi missing a large part of pre-season with the final game scheduled for July 19th.
