8 Reasons Why Man City Will Be Pep Guardiola's Biggest Test

6. The Competition Is About To Get Even MORE Difficult

Aston Villa fans must be kicking themselves. From next season, even finishing bottom in England's top division earns the club close to £100m, an insane amount of money just for finishing last. Thanks to the Premier League's mammoth TV deal with Sky, every club in the league is going to be awash with cash, arguably evening out the competition even more.

Thanks to this investment from the TV cameras, this opens up the league to even MORE teams being able to afford a crack at potentially winning English football's top title. We've already seen glimpses of the funds about to pour into each team's back pocket with the likes of Stoke City capable of spending £20m plus on a single player.

Should Leicester win the league this season, on top of their prize money from finishing first, they too will be able to accumulate the funds to kick on for next season and put in a strong push to defend their title come August. This throws Guardiola into arguably the most open Premier League in the competition's history, and he'll be competing with nineteen other sides perfectly capable of winning against his City side.
