Pep Guardiola has one eye on the upcoming Premier League fixtures after the prestigious tournament. It is where Kevin De Bruyne could win the team the Premier League title. Moreover, the club has fixtures coming up, and they should win it. But they will need the extraordinary passing ability of the star midfielder to open up defenses of these teams.
