Conte has repeatedly been critical of what he considers a lack of investment that has undermined his and his team’s defence of the Premier League title. The Italian cited City’s ambition and willingness to continue spending and backing their manager Pep Guardiola as a reason they will continue to excel. Conte is widely expected to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season, and he said: “Manchester City is one club that can continue to dominate, to win. “They have dominated this season and it’s right to compliment them on winning this league; this league is not simple to win. “We have to avoid this if we want to keep the hope to finish in the top four.”Press Association
