In fact, it’s not entirely clear why United was successful (relatively, since before the purchase of Casemiro things were going terribly) last season - maybe it was a certain merit of Liverpool and Chelsea which flew out of the top and vacated a place there. In the upcoming season they will return to business and I think that even a place in the top 4 is not guaranteed to anyone. As for the title, as long as there is a City, there is no point in talking about it.

Well it's true when we think back on the strength of Manchester City. So we can only take a deep breath because reaching this one club seems really difficult. Manchester City is like a big wall that every club in the Premier League has to go through if they want to win the title.

Maybe it's true that Manchester United last season so smoothly could land in 3rd place because there were 2 clubs that had experienced quite severe inconsistencies at the start of the season, namely Liverpool and Chelsea. Because if Chelsea and Liverpool can play well from the start of the season then maybe Manchester United will find it difficult to even land in the top 4. Liverpool did get back up last season but they got up too late. Because when Liverpool started to find their game again it turned out that the season was almost at its end. So that Liverpool's successive wins at the end of the season could not make this club penetrate the top 4.

But this season I feel it will be different from last season. I expected more difficult competition than last season.

By the way, Liverpool and Chelsea will have an additional advantage in the Premier League - both of these clubs will not participate in the Champions League (and Chelsea will not be in European competition at all) so they will be able to concentrate on one tournament. They can even plan the season in a radically different way without trying to bring the team to peak shape during the Champions League playoffs.

Liverpool may still be a little troubled in the Europa League even though I still feel confident they will pass the group phase easily but still their schedule will still be as much. but for Chelsea now they can focus on being in the competition in the EPL especially this is also a transitional phase for them where last season's performance will definitely still be a lot of people who are sceptical.
But obviously their schedule is lighter, this should be more power for them to improve their position well and be able to return to European competition next season.
The challenge for Tuchel and Chelsea with a new face is a separate pressure for them.
