Manuel Pellegrini has said that Manchester City must win the Premier League title this season.

The club are set to surpass £150m of spending in the summer transfer after the expected signing of Kevin de Bruyne.

"This team must try to win titles every year. It's not so easy because you have strong teams here in the Premier League and in the Champions League," Pellegrini told reporters. "But we must try to do it.

"The best way to at least try is to have a good squad. That's what we're trying to do now and we finish on Tuesday when the transfer window is closed.

"So with more players or without players, I never had excuses about not winning titles."

Manchester City will look to continue their 100% Premier League record against Watford on Saturday.
