Of course that some Premier League teams really want to stop the dominance of Manchester City. They are starting to build their squad with quality players who are of high value as Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea have done so far. But Manchester City doesn't seem to be thinking too much about other teams because they are more focused on the exact plan each season.
Pep Guardiola has built his team with good mentality and quality. They have become unmatchable season after season, and I believe if Pep Guardiola coached this team longer then Manchester City would have won more titles. Next season will be spectacular, of course but some new players will adapt to their new team.
Man City continues to win streak in the EPL to get the trophy but what will be more interesting is the current season of course I will not underestimate other teams that are building their squad by buying some quality players even at high prices because they know every team that is needed then the club management must fulfill it and that is mentioned has bought many players to stop Man City's steps as defending champions in the Premier League.
Pep Guardiola has a strong philosophy they have managed to bring many trophies and including the Champions League won some time ago, even Pep once said in his interview maybe their other teams have a lot of trophies but he said if there are other teams off guard then he will take over the trophy, more or less like that statement to the media.
Anyway, some of the big teams in the EPL will be Man City's tight competitors at this time.
