The Premier League title race is set to be one of the most closely contested in recent years, with Milner admitting it would be 'special' to lift the trophy this season, especially considering the quality City possess.
"I think it’s special anytime you win the Premier League to be honest, because it is damn hard to do," he told the Liverpool Echo
"We’re going up against a team that a lot of people have called the best the Premier League has seen in Manchester City.
"It’s so hard to win the Premier League, the two other times I have won it, it has been on the last day of the season and it looks like it’s going to go down to the death again, so there’s so many changes in a title race," he added.
