You have a point Manchester United and Chelsea are far behind compared to how they were few years back. Chelsea have shown some sign of improvement towards the end of the past season and if not because they Sacked Pochettino Chelsea should be able to challenge for the title as well because they have been gaining back confidence and their balance.
Next season the competition might not be as exciting because even if Arsenal still try to win the title we all know they won’t be able to win it unless Guardiola leaves Manchester City. Manchester City might see less competition because Kloop have left Liverpool and they’d probably lose more players and it might take time for the new coach to adapt to the league and the players.
Manchester City will always be considered a major challenger for the Premier League title as long as Pep Guardiola is still coaching this club. But who dares to guarantee that Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle, Aston Villa, Manchester United or Liverpool will not win the title next season?
I would definitely be very happy if Manchester United were back fighting for the title next season, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea should be there too. Tottenham may also be worth considering over Newcastle or Aston Villa, but Ange Postecoglou has more work to do than last season. Ange Postecoglou is a good coach for Tottenham, but he failed to maintain the consistent performance of his players due to injury problems for several key players.
In my opinion, Manchester City should not defend its title again in the 2024-2025 season. Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham, Newcastle and Aston Villa must stop this dominance so that the Premier League is not as boring as several other domestic leagues. Arsenal clearly really wanted to break this dominance in the last two seasons, but unfortunately Arteta still failed.
