'We want to fight with Liverpool' - Man City need fast start to keep up with Premier League champions, says De Bruyne

Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has said his side are looking to fight Liverpool for the Premier League title this season after conceding the trophy to Jurgen Klopp's side last campaign.

City failed to mount a strong defence of their league title in 2019-20 as Liverpool set a blistering pace en route to an 18-point margin of victory over De Bruyne's men in second place.

After Liverpool began their 2020-21 campaign with two straight wins, City got their season started with a win of their own on Monday as De Bruyne scored from the spot in a 3-1 victory over Wolves.
