It is definitely going to be a tough season for everyone and that includes Chelsea and Liverpool, although both teams has actually had a good transfer market and the market hasn't ended yet meaning that they can still get more players into their team.
Yes, you can be sure it will be difficult for Chelsea and Liverpool, especially for Chelsea who have to change a lot and this takes time to improve under the new coach Mauricio Pochettino. You can see that Chelsea's transfer direction is now good, not carelessly buying players like the previous season. Because buying a player is like gambling, not all experienced players can immediately get chemistry at their new club, and not all potential players immediately perform badly at their new club.
I am still looking at Manchester city, arsenal and Manchester united this would be the teams to actually drag for the English premier league and I am still going for Manchester city to lift the league but it would be heavily contested.
we have to be realistic for this season, even though Man United and Arsenal are building strong squads but Man City's dominance seems difficult for opponents. because this season is the prime peak of Man City. They dominated the English League for six years, and only once did they not get the EPL title when it was picked up by Liverpool. Almost every season, Man City has never failed to win the title. Last season they were also able to catch Man United's two achievements in one season, Treble and Three-peat EP. So it's only natural that this season Man City remains the favorite to win the EPL league title.
