Manchester City lost to Aston Villa, making Arsenal top them with 6 points gaps, whereby the league hasn't gone far and there are many matches to play. Looking at the premier league table today, it feels empty like the team who would win the premier league is not there to.
Last season arsenal used up to a 9-points gap to top Manchester City during the end of the season and later lost to Manchester City for the trophy. My question is, can what happened last season happen this season?
This season will be another time for Pep Guardiola to prove himself as the best coach as he always does when it comes to lifting premier league trophies. As it seems now, Manchester City doesn't appear formidable. Any team can win them if they make up their city
Man City defeat yesterday really disappointed the fans and bettors, whereas I saw that there were no problems in this team, everything looked fine, but for some reason the performance dropped drastically, 3 losses, 3 draws in all matches this season. the point difference is very far from the top of the standings dominated by Arsenal at the moment and it is possible that history will be broken by Arsenal this season to get the EPL title because from 15 matches Man City already has a very large point difference with Arsenal and if this is only because Guardiola is focused in the UCL it makes little sense because last season Man City was able to perform very well defending the title in several competitions.
If in the next match and so on, Man City returns to its best performance, I think it will probably be like last season, but if it still has a bad performance, it will be difficult to reach the top of the standings.
Because of Manchester City's performance of not being able to win matches as they ought to, doesn't mean they are not going to bounce back. What they are doing now, they did it last season by losing to small clubs nobody expected and in the end, they found their form and later won the PL trophy.
It would be a terrible thing for any club coach to think of writing Manchester City off from not lifting the 2023/2024 Premier League title. Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle, and other coaches can't try it because Pep Guardiola can leave them surprised by the performance and tactics his players will come up with by next year to the end of the season.
Even though I have a little doubt about Manchester City lifting the PL title this season, that doesn't stop me from in believing the capability of Pep Guardiola of what he can do. He can change the whole atmosphere of his team to become formidable again. He can fix his team even though their attention is divided to focus on their Champions League matches more or Premier League
