One thing I hope for is that Manchester City will again have a strong competitive field for the title. The worst that can happen in the Premier League is when 8 weeks before the season ends one team is leading with a 20 points gap. The issue is that I believe this could actually go that way as several teams need to find themselves again first before they can aim higher and also perform well on most of the 38 game days. Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, all teams that could usually play for the top for a while but perhaps we now have Newcastle and Arsenal instead. But I think it is close to being guaranteed that Manchester will play a good season at least and maybe a perfect season if other teams are pushing them.
I believe Manchester City will still dominate the Premier League in a decade if Pep Guardiola really wants to stay long at City. This was the era of Manchester City as the best European team and it was really hard for anyone to stop. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and many other teams are all fighting for power, but Manchester City is still the best right now.
Manchester City has won 5 titles in 6 seasons, this is a truly successful domination. I don't doubt their journey in the first decade if Pep Guardiola stays and at least 8/10 titles they can have. In the past we have seen Manchester United do it, but now Manchester City are doing it.
Yes they won 5 titles in 6 seasons but there have been titles that were very difficult like the ones against Liverpool when it was extremely close. The other teams like Arsenal and Manchester United hopefully finally realized that something has to happen in order to be able to compete with Manchester City. Liverpool knows how it works, but they first need to get back to their old strength. I don't know if that's possible during a season when they only play the Europa League as Klopp is a coach who can create the best and most constructive tension within the team when there is a lot at risk. That is a bit different this season, but still they can hopefully once again resist the dominance of Manchester City and compete on eye-level.
