Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has said that the club are confident of winning the Premier League this season.

The Citizens finished eight points behind Chelsea in the table last season and failed to pick up any silverware.

"It was a disappointment for City and it was a disappointment for every single player at the club," Kompany told Sky Sports News.

"But it shows what the club wants to achieve because we finished second so there a lot of clubs behind us still but Chelsea kind of ran away with it.

"It was too early and too easy. We cannot afford that this season."

City have won the Premier League title twice in the past four seasons.
