So far, Kevin De Bruyne has played a very important role in Manchester City's midfield and helped the club to create opportunities for assists and also the goals that are needed, his absence certainly makes Manchester City's performance less than optimal, although Pep Guardiola has also anticipated this if something happens such as injuries to his mainstay players and using reserve players to cover the gap even though the substitute players were not able to do as much as De Bruyne did, but at least Pep Guardiola was still able to handle it well even though it was a little late but in the end he won his umpteenth Premier League title in history consecutively.
Maybe, Arsenal can win the title if Manchester City experiences difficulties with their players, but Pep will also not remain silent if he sees his players get injured. He is a smart coach in managing the club and has great players in it even though there are several star players in the team. Pep relies on them but they also have quality reserve players, even though their performances are not up to par with Pep's mainstay players, as long as they have time, anything can still happen.
Kevin De Bruyne is currently almost 33 years old with now coming season is his last season at the Manchester City, and he is giving his best while there were few expectations about extension of his contract, but he is not doing anything regarding this and most chances he is having good offer from the Saudi League which could be luxurious, so now this last season is going to be interested because Manchester City is now preparing for the next phase of their era with Pepe and few players will be leave so how things will be works its another important discussion.
But, this coming season is going to be amazing because Arsenal are also having good chance of winning title and Manchester City wants to go through for their streak, and they will also try to give better playing time to their players which are going to replace few spots in coming season this will make good competition but still if we have no injury or any other problem things could be no easy for the teams to handle Manchester City.
