This is the 4th season for Manchester City to defend the Premier League title, will they be able to defend it next season? I can't predict this with certainty, because in the Premier League it will be very difficult to predict, because the league is very competitive. However, if you look at their performance this season, in my opinion their performance has dropped a little and maybe next season it can be more than this.
One thing I see from them, they have a strong foundation, so that's good for them, so to compete I think they can still compete, but to be able to defend the title I can't predict with certainty. because next season I think several clubs will be able to improve, and one of them is Arsenal where every season they continue to improve and it is not impossible that next season they will be much better than this season. Chelsea is also showing improvement, maybe they will be a threat next season if they succeed in improving their performance.
