Yaya Toure knows top-of-the-table Man City must prove themselves in what he acknowledges is the toughest league in the world. He said: "There's big expectations because we are one of the biggest clubs now.
"We have spent a lot of money and built an incredible squad.
"Now we have to justify that by winning trophies.
"Our aim is to win the Premier League but I know that's not easy. The Premier League is the best competition in the world. It is so difficult to win.
"I remember Thierry Henry talking to me about it when we were at Barcelona.
"He said the Premier League was the most difficult league he had ever played in and now I know why. I have great respect for Spanish football and Barcelona and Real Madrid are so high — but part of that is because the other teams are so low. That makes it all too easy for them.
"You will never see Malaga win at Barcelona or Zaragoza at Madrid.
"But the other day we have bottom-of-the-table Blackburn winning at Manchester United, Aston Villa winning at Chelsea and we lost at Sunderland. Unbelievable.
"That would never happen in Spain.

"We know Manchester United are a strong team.
"We know Manchester United are a strong team.
"They have such fantastic experience, more than any other team in Europe. Even more than Barcelona, so it is going to be very tough."
