I believe it will be very difficult for Manchester City to win the Premier League trophy this season. But anything can happen because football is something that you can predict at times, but in my opinion, Arsenal or Liverpool will win the title this time, because how I see Guadiola is doing this season is not like before, he has lost form and they are not like last season, but I think because some of the players are no longer in the team because I am not seeing Doku's performance anymore, I prefer Grealish to him.
In my opinion, Pep is still the same, has not lost form, the one who lost form is Grealish, so it is understandable that his position is not guaranteed. Mancity this season faced more difficulties than last season in terms of strength and performance of the players, with injuries to important players like Kevin de Bruyne and Rodri's overload. With more disadvantages than before but no notable additions, Pep still led Mancity to pass the UCL qualifiers and maintain the position to compete for the Premier League championship, which I think is already too good.
As for Gearlish, his performance this season is not stable. He could not maintain his original form last season, so Pep was forced to use Doku more often. But recently, positive signs have returned to Gearlish, as he is having quite an impressive comeback. Hopefully Gearlish can maintain this form at Mancity's most important time.
