City is the only team that has consistently dominated for several seasons in a row, during which time only their rivals alternate, at one time Liverpool tried, now Arsenal tried for two seasons, but none of them manage to break City’s dominance and I think that they can’t will succeed in the near future, because Guardiola’s team is very strong. And despite the fact that some important players like Gundogan leave, he manages to be the best. For some reason it seems to me that Arteta will not be able to beat Guardiola.

Manchester City succeeded in building a strong foundation, so that they were able to maintain their performance for years, at least they managed to defend the title for 4 consecutive seasons. In my opinion, the foundation they created is one of the keys that has enabled them to be consistent so far, because without that foundation they would probably decline quickly.
We see a lot of teams that only last for 1 season, that's because they don't have a solid foundation so they can decline in a short time. We must not forget the genius of the coach, because Pep Guardiola is indeed a coach who is good at concocting strategies that he can apply well in his game. Manchester City also cannot be separated from their success, because management gave Pep Guardiola a long time.

Yes, exactly. Man City can be as successful as it is today because they believe in the process and of course they need patience. Pep Guardiola's arrival at Man City did not immediately become what it is today. Man City was able to win the EPL league consecutively because the team foundation was mature enough and the playing philosophy was also unified between players and coaches. This is very different from other big teams in the EPL which change coaches every season, of course this is wrong because every time they change coaches, their playing style also changes. Liverpool in the Klopp era was also successful because they believed in the process, but finances could also be a determining factor because they could bring in the players the coach wanted, as Man City is doing now.

But for now, maybe next season the only person able to compete with Man City is Arsenal. Arsenal in the last two seasons has proven significant changes under coach Arteta. So it is not impossible that Arsenal can win the EPL league trophy next season which they have been waiting for, and stop Man City's big ambition to set a record for winning the EPL five times in a row.
