Manchester City can win the Premier League title with or without Keven De Bruyne. Liverpool, on the other hand, has excellent attackers who can produce; they can play effectively and score goals even without Salah. As a result, they may win the league. However, since Arsenal defeated both Manchester City and Liverpool this season, I will also include them in the title race. They have an impressive squad that can win the league.
Manchester City still has Erling Haaland, who is one of the best players in the English league, so I think when Kevin De Bruyne is injured and can't contribute fully on the pitch, there are still some great players who provide good passes for the attackers to execute, even though Erling Haaland has just scored a goal. in the final minutes, but at least Manchester City managed to win this match.
For Liverpool, I see that luck is on their side because the opponent they are facing is a team with not very good strength, so it is normal for Liverpool to score a lot of goals.
Manchester City still has other great players even though they cannot be strengthened by De Bruyne, but they are not able to contribute like De Bruyne, who always consistently maintains his performance. Some time ago, Manchester City performance experienced a decline due to the absence of De Bruyne name in their line-up. After he returned to strengthen the team, Manchester City performance immediately improved. Manchester City's steps will be slightly hampered in the title race if De Bruyne cannot strengthen the team, Guardiola must anticipate the worst possibility by immediately addressing the shortcomings in his team while De Bruyne is still in the recovery process.
