Herrera believes that City are under more pressure to win the league because they went trophyless last campaign and spent heavily on new players.
According to Goal, the Spain international said, "We won three titles last season [the Community Shield, League Cup and Europa League] and Man City didn't win anything. They are under pressure. They are obligated to win something. They have more obligation than us."

City have spent the biggest amount in the Premier League so they are the principle contenders for the title. We have quality as well, but because of the money they have spent, they are the favourites."
"We will try to be there. There is pressure when you spend a lot but there is also pressure on us because we are the biggest club in England. But you know when you play for United that you are under an obligation to win things and I like that obligation," he added.
Both the Manchester sides are favorites to battle it out for the title and both will look to maintain their top spot in the table. Manchester City next take on bottom placed team Crystal Palace while Manchester United travel to Southampton.
