Manchester City, Leicester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur’s are England’s representatives in the Champions League this season.
Martin Keown has told the Daily Mail that Manchester City are the Premier League side most likely to go the furthest in the Championship.
City, Leicester City, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur’s are England’s representatives in Europe’s top competition this season.
City and Leicester have both got off to good starts to their European campaigns.
City beat Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 last night, while Leicester won 3-0 away against Club Brugge.
Arsenal, meanwhile, managed to pick up a credible point against PSG, but Spurs were beaten 2-1 by Monaco.
City’s performance was arguably the most eye catching of the quartet’s, and Keown believes that Guardiola’s side could be set for a lengthy stay in the competition this season.
“Everyone is saying Manchester City,” Keown said when asked which Premier League side would get the further in Europe.
“It’s been quite poor from English clubs in recent seasons.
“It’s an unusual situation this year with Leicester’s first season and Tottenham playing at Wembley.
“Arsenal are difficult to predict and City are almost too good to be true.
“The pressure is on City to keep their consistency. We need to see how they grow in the tournament.
“The games against Barcelona are mouthwatering and it’s then we’ll really see what City are made of.
“I’m sure Guardiola will have something up his sleeve for when he takes on Messi, Suarez and Neymar – and he’ll love to go for the jugular in that one.”
City’s are set to take on Celtic next, while Leicester are due to face Porto, Spurs take on CSKA Moscow and Arsenal go up against FC Basel.
