This season the fight has been more than serious and it's not about Arsenal finishing poorly, it's about the fact that Manchester City made some mistakes in their time and that's why they let other teams fight so closely, but in the end put things right. All in all, if Manchester City falter next season, Arsenal do have a good chance of winning, but only if they don't deflate themselves
Next season looks like it will still be the same where Arsenal and Manchester City will again compete for the trophy this season.
Seeing from the situation of some big clubs who are now troubled in the reshuffle of coaches and players, it makes me not too sure they can compete.
Liverpool have solved the coach problem with Slot who was appointed as a successor to Klopp but honestly I still doubt whether he will be able to compete for the trophy in his first season this time especially since the problems of some players still cannot be resolved because the contract problems of Salah, Van Dijk and Alisson have yet to find a clear point whether they will still survive or leave Liverpool.
If in the end these three players leave then Liverpool's chances will definitely be even worse so that it is possible to compete now only Arsenal and Mancehster City but it does not rule out the possibility that there will be a club that was not expected to play well in the next season and I expect surprises like that.
In the last two seasons of the English Premier League, Arsenal have been the only major challenger that English champions Manchester City have faced and considering the current situation at, I don't think that's evet going to change next season. Liverpool who I think should be the other club to challenge for the title come next season recently had a change in the managerial position of if the club and in Arne Slot's first season at the club, I don't think he'll be able to strongly challenge for the title. Chelsea also sacked their former manager Mauricio Pochentino despite his very good form in the last weeks of the season with the club and appointed Enzo Maresca as their new manager and that's why I also think it'll take sometime for Chelsea to become formidable enough to challenge for the title. Manchester United sticked with Erik ten Hag and we're yet to see any major signature that should convince us that they're going to have a better season than the one we saw last season.
Whatever happens next season, I think the English Premier League will not have the kind of respect it use to have if Manchester City wins the title for the fifth time in a row come next season.
