He was also predicting the right thing if Manchester City has a good chance of winning the competition next season and it makes sense. As you can see that Manchester City is still playing very well last season even though they were so struggling but they was able winning EPL again. City remains the frontrunner as a team that will win the competition compared to the its competitors like arsenal or even liverpool at this moment.
I think if someone was given the choice of which team will be the EPL champions next season I think the answer would be the same as the picture you uploaded. City is first on almost everyone's favorite list, followed by Arsenal and Liverpool. They are a team in the top three this season. People forget about Aston Villa, Tottenham and Newcastle because they see little chance even though they are in a better position than United and Chelsea. I wonder why people chose United and Chelsea as EPL champions next season. United is having problems with the team despite winning the FA cup. And Chelsea, I think they are still not worthy of being one of the title challengers next season.
Manchester City is certainly the choice of many people because it has won the EPL 4 times in a row. This is of particular concern in the English league. Even though Manchester City is the champion, the points difference has been very close in the last three seasons. This opportunity can be easily seized by other teams. There is the impact of strong competition with runner up winners.
