It is unfair to guarantee Manchester City the Premier League even before the season kicks off. This is purely your imagination and nothing else because I can't call this prediction. If I were to say the season has started, I would have said it is a prediction, but the season has not started. Moreover, in the season that just finished, many people were thinking Arsenal would get the title even though later they failed to make it, but they were at the top of the table till the last day of the final. Remember that nothing is impossible in football.
A team that you underestimate may take the trophy you did not expect, so I don't know how much you underestimate Arsenal's reach that makes you think they won't win the trophy next season. Just know that Manchester City can also fail to another team.
In as much as many of us wouldn't want Manchester City to continue their dominance in the English Premier League, we can't just feign ignorance to the fact that Pep Guardiola men are simply the best team in the league and are very likely to retain the English Premier League title come next season. It's not long that the 2023/24 English Premier League season finished but bookmakers are already tipping Manchester City ahead of the other teams to win the league again come next year.
Arsenal have been Manchester City's biggest rivals in the last two seasons and k think they'll still be major contender for the English Premier League title come next season but to stop Manchester City from winning the league title will be a very difficult task for Mikel Arteta's men as well as the other clubs in the league. I'll be happy to see a new winner if the English Premier League trophy come next season but considering the reality of things, my wish I don't think will come to pass.
Arsenal will have a very good chance to actually beat Manchester City if Arsenal is just a little more consistent with their performance and if Arsenal actually has good depth in the squad. Arsenal has a bad habit of losing crucial matches at important times. That is probably a big reason why they have not been able to win the English premier league in the last two or three seasons. Manchester City has also not been consistent throughout the whole season. But they have been able to win when it matters. Even think about this season. Manchester City had to win the final matches. Because even if they had only one point from a match Arsenal could have been the winner of the English Premier League. But Manchester City did not give them that chance. It does not matter how many people start hating Manchester City. It happens when a team has dominance in the league. But that is not going to stop Manchester City from performing well and having the dominance.
