Regardless of whether other teams try their best to win the title, I still believe that Manchester City is a team as the main candidate to win the title. I don't expect everyone to agree with my assumptions, but these are just my beliefs about the possibilities.
Many of us here agree with you because other teams aren't just looking like title contenders. Real Madrid aren't on their finest form and they have lost their star player without having to sign any better replacement for the striker. If Real Madrid can sign Mbappe (although he isn't a striker) but their team can look strong again. The current Real Madrid squads can't defeat Manchester city even after they're letting go of many players form their squad still they have a very strong starting eleven that can defeat any teams in Europe at the moment. Bayern Munich singing Harry Kane is going to bring enough believe that they can stand head to head with Manchester city but that's unlikely to happen.
Manchester united can't stop Manchester city, Arsenal can't stop Manchester city same as Barcelona, Newcastle and inter Milan that pull off the stunts they did last season by reaching the finals against all odds. PSG is looking disorganized so there's no team that you can point to that can defeat Manchester City. I believe only Manchester city can sabotage their road to the champion finals by Pep Guardiola coming up with some strategy that he would think will make them stronger instead it'll make them weak. For this season I'm supporting an English team to also lift the the trophy and Manchester city is the best team from england to do it again.
