I actually have no doubt about Manchester City. They might have lost a lot top players and will most likely lose more, but I know what Pep is capable of. Also, the transfer market is still open and there is still a lot of time for them to reinforce their squad. Mahrez and left and they're looking for a replacement for him. They are talking about getting Raphinha which would be a very good replacement. The good thing about Pep is that he can turn Raphinha to a world class player, the same way he'll turn Kovacic into a world class player.
I heard a swap deal with Barcelona for Raphinha and Benardo is on the table.
Pep is a genius. He needs good players to succeed quite alright, but the players in Manchester City is ready for anything. All the need is like three players; a right winger, a right back and a central midfielder and they will be good.

Pep Guardiola is known as a coaching genius, so I think it's a bit odd to doubt him and his squad when he's working for a team as wealthy as Manchester City. So far Manchester City have really fulfilled his demands, of course it's about the budget in the transfer market. Manchester City have also signed some good players so far, so surely their strength has improved.

Manchester City haven't lost much in their squad basically, but the impact will always be there. Kovacic still has to adapt to his new team, the same goes for the other players. So in the end I can say that Manchester City are the favorites in the Champions League next season even though they won the title last season but of course there are no guarantees about the title.
