Manchester City have many competitors this season, not as last season they only have Manchester city which was their biggest competitors. With all this contenders Manchester City still have the chance of winning the league this season. Manchester City have the strongest quad than any other club in epl .
Many competitors? I only see 2 competitors (Arsenal and Tottenham).
I'm not sure if Man City will have the highest chance to win the title. To be considered the favorite to win EPL title, Man City should defeat the competitors first when they have the big matches (against Tottenham on matchday 7, against Arsenal on matchday 12). If Man City can defeat them, I believe Man City will be the favorite to win EPL title again this season.
We don't need to argue at the start of the season, If you are following the league a year ago, the champions will lock on the last minutes of the session. So, The City, Arsenal even MU which are still in the middle stand is the main competitor. We still have a winter windows transfer which makes the club be stronger or weaker. the situation will be changed if Chelsea or MU reshuffles all players to be galacticos. I admit Arsenal started well, but I'm not sure they will be stable after the middle session like ManCity.
If you watch Arsenal's game,you will be surprised what the team has turned into and what Arteta has built at hand.In terms of possessions,they are so good with Thomas Partey anchoring the midfield and making them always win without tension and stress.
If Arsenal can maintain this kind of winning mindset,and always remain consistent in their performance,their is no doubt,that premier league will be surprised at their outcome this season,and to prove to people that they can remain tittle contenders even after the middle of the season.
