Kyle Walker Declares Premier League is Manchester City’s to Lose as They Chase Historic Fifth Title in a Row

Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has set the tone for the new Premier League season, confidently asserting that the title is “ours to lose” as the club aims to secure an unprecedented fifth consecutive league championship. City, who made history last season by becoming the first club to win four English top-flight titles in a row, kick off their title defense against Chelsea on Sunday.

In a candid conversation on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club, the England full-back shared his thoughts on the club’s recent dominance and the mentality that comes with being serial winners. “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,” Walker said. “When you’re looking down at your arm and you’ve got that gold badge that no one else has, it’s a good feeling. Long may it continue.”

Kyle Walker, who has been a key figure under manager Pep Guardiola, reflected on how the team’s relentless drive remains undiminished despite their success. “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,” he noted. “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 ever be done again? That’s the motivation we have to create from us as a group of players, from me as a captain.”

Kyle Walker also touched on the role of Guardiola in maintaining the squad’s hunger for more silverware. The Spaniard’s relentless pursuit of excellence has been a driving force behind City’s success, and Walker acknowledged that Guardiola demands nothing less than full commitment from his players. “I think if you didn’t have that drive, he wouldn’t have you at the club. It’s a big part of his DNA, winning,” Walker said. “Look at the teams he’s gone and managed, the players he’s worked with. He’s not shy that if you’re not pulling your weight, he’s not scared to tell you.”

As City prepare to defend their title, Walker’s confidence and the team’s collective ambition signal their intent to continue their dominance in English football. With Guardiola at the helm and a squad brimming with talent and experience, Manchester City are poised to make another strong bid for Premier League glory, determined to add yet another chapter to their record-breaking legacy.
