Since Arsenal and Manchester City both performed poorly in preseason games and lost—Arsenal was defeated by Manchester United and Manchester City was also defeated by Atletico Madrid,I can't really predict who will win, who will win the title, or who will not qualify for the champion league the following season.

Manchester city loss against Atletico Madrid and Arsenal loss against Manchester United those not mean that the two clubs are not going to qualify for champions league next season. these is just a preseason match, am sure their will be difference when the season start, much effort is not always put in preseason matches, i still believe both Manchester city and Arsenal are still in good form and they are both going to perform well next season. Arsenal will be playing against Manchester city on August 6, am not really expecting anything special from the two clubs, but am having confidence that Manchester city is going to win the match.
Since certain teams are in good shape, such as Chelsea right now, whose performance is excellent right now and which also defeated every team they faced in their preseason game, the premier league will be very competitive. This demonstrates that Chelsea has returned to its previous status, and it will be excellent if the other clubs treat the upcoming Premier League with seriousness; if not, Chelsea will take home the title.
Next season won't be easy for any club, and it will be more competitive compare to last season, lots of clubs have made new signing, no club should be underestimated next season, because even the clubs that performed poorly last season will suprise everyone next season. I think I like the way Mauricio Pochettino is trying to rebuild Chelsea, and Chelsea performance in all the preseason matches they played was nice, let's just hope they will continue with their good performance when the season start.
