That's right, Arsenal are now perceived as the only team that can resist City, and I think that will remain the same next season. Liverpool will have a new coach, it is unknown how he will cope with managing the team, and I also don’t expect anything big from other teams, Newcastle often has a lot of injuries, or Chelsea came Marеska, but there are no new transfers, I won’t say anything about Aston Villa yet, I think that Emery is capable of surprising. So Arsenal remains the most likely opponent who will try to become a champion again.
Arsenal has changed quite drastically after Arteta took over the coaching, apart from his experience as a player, of course, the knowledge that Arteta got from Guardiola is an important capital for him to be able to build Arsenal as good as it is today, previously we saw Arsenal was only a team that did compete and target the top 4 positions at the end of the standings, but the support of management and also Arteta expertise and hard work were able to make Arsenal in the last two seasons become Premier League title contenders, although they still failed to win the championship trophy, we can't deny that they are indeed very worthy of remaining the favorites to win next season after we see the progress of all their hard work this season.
This season of course only Arsenal is able to compete with Manchester City until the end of the season after other teams are unable to do so, next season of course is still a secret that is difficult to guess when many teams make many changes and improvements to their teams, Liverpool and Chelsea have changed coaches so it is difficult not to make them title contenders next season, likewise with Manchester United and Newcastle who may bring in many new players to be able to try to compete in the top standings of the Premier League next season.
