Premier League title is ‘ours to lose’ says Manchester City right-back Walker
City are hoping to win an unprecedented fifth successive Premier League title
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.
