Paul Merson expects Manchester City to be the team to beat next season following their crowning as the 2017/18 Premier League champions.

Pep Guardiola’s side were assured of their first-place finish on Sunday afternoon without even playing, as Manchester United’s defeat to West Brom meant the Red Devils could no longer topple City and claim first place.

City did claim victory over Tottenham at Wembley on Saturday to make such a situation possible, blowing away Spurs with a performance so brilliant it called into question the North Londoners’ own chances of overcoming City to win the title in the next few years.
