I think Manchester City will still become the champion. After the failure, they are likely to be quite active again in the transfer market and will be more balanced along the lines this season.
Yup i am one of the big fan if Manchester City and I think they will play very well next time. And they will be champions. I look forward to its winning. I am willing to bet high amount on them.
Just beware in the first games since most teams have random results before getting much stable. I remember City wasn't in top in the first rounds last season but they topped the table later.
I am also confident that Manchester City will lead this season too but it won't dominate it imo since Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs are building a solid team each. Even ManU is trying.
