• Sergio Aguero believes Manchester City will face stiff competition from two teams for the Premier League title next season
• City have been dominant in the EPL in recent years, with Pep Guardiola's men lifting the title five times in the last six years
• The Citizens were crowned the English champions for the third time running this season after they beat closest challengers Arsenal to the crown

Sergio Aguero has named the only two teams that he believes have what it takes to challenge Manchester City for the Premier League title next season.

City have dominated the English top flight in recent years, winning the domestic crown five times in the last six years under Pep Guardiola.

Arsenal looked set to beat the Manchester club to the title this season, only for the North Londoners to miss out on it with three games to go.

According to Metro UK, the Gunners led the title race for 248 days and looked on course to win the league for the first time since 2004.

However, Mikel Arteta's men were out of steam in the closing stages of the campaign, with a disastrous run of results costing them the title.

Aguero's EPL prediction

Aguero, who won the Premier League on five occasions with City, has backed Arsenal to once again challenge City for the crown next season.

The former Argentine striker also believes Manchester United have what it takes to give the league a big shot next term.

"City will continue to be a candidate next season. It has been shown that it is the best team in the Premier League, with a very clear style of play, which has won three consecutive titles, something difficult to achieve," Aguero wrote on Stake.

"But this is the Premier League and it is football, there will be several teams that try to dethrone them. I think that Arsenal has established a very important base of young players with a long way to go. Mikel Arteta will try to reinforce his lines and will be one of the rivals to beat next season.

"We must not forget about Manchester United either, who have returned to their competitive spirit and will be one of those who most want to defeat City," he added.
