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.
It's actually true that this Manchester city team is not as strong and effective as They were last season, because if you look at their performance against most of the top teams, you will definitely understand what am saying, that's why I was really impressed by their performance last night against real madrid, because I thought real madrid will be too strong for them but that wasn't the case.
And as for the league title, I think it can be won by any of this three teams, since they are all good, so what will definitely decide the title race is how consistent they all are between now and the end of the season, but as for now, arsenal are more in an advantage position since their destiny is in their hands, so let's all be expecting a really fascinating and close title race till the last match of the season.
