Manchester City has the capacity and ability to defend the title in the 2023-2024 season. You don't need to doubt their quality and opportunities even though it is still possible for other teams to thwart them. Manchester City are still the favorites for the title next season, but I also think their dominance will very likely be broken if the other team actually takes every match to win.
I still have confidence that Manchester city are going to win the premier league next season, i know its going to be difficult for them, because every team are purchasing new players, they are trying to improve the performance of their team ahead of next season, no club should be underestimated next season, but i have the believe that its still Manchester city that's going to win the league.
