Sane welcomes title battle
Manchester City forward Leroy Sane says it is more enjoyable is some ways to be locked in a real tussle to try and win the Premier League title again this season.
The Citizens eased to the title last season with few problems, amassing 100 points to finish 19 points clear of the chasing pack.
However, the defence of their crown is proving far more difficult, with City locked in a three-way battle with Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
We all know what we did last season, we're still doing it this season and we all know exactly what we have to do.

And Germany international Sane is enjoying the challenge of trying to fend off their rivals, with the Citizens able to move top of the table with a win at Everton on Wednesday evening.
He told his club's official matchday magazine: "I think it's kind of more enjoyable because it motivates you and it makes you want to work harder.
"It's never easy to defend a title. I think this is sometimes the reason for it - if we win then people want to win against the champions and be able to say they have beaten the champions.
"That's why it is so difficult for the next season. All the teams want to play at their best level, everyone wants to beat the champions, or want to be the champion themselves.
"We all know what we did last season, we're still doing it this season and we all know exactly what we have to do and that's the important thing."
City can be backed at 5/6 to claim the Premier League title this season, with Liverpool priced at 11/10 and Tottenham available at 16/1.
