The biggest candidate for the championship in the Premier League right now is Manchester City. I think everyone accepts this. However, other teams will also play ambitiously this year. Arsenal is also in this and they are aiming for the championship in the Champions League and the Premier League this year as they did in the last two years. Mikel Arteta believes that he will finally bring the championship to the team. He made some transfers very successfully as point transfers. He analyzed the areas where there is a need very well. Maybe Arsenal's longing may end this year.
Look at the vote at the top of the topic, not everyone thinks the same as you, and I see that the prevailing opinion is that Arsenal will become champions. I do not agree with this opinion, and I think that last season was the limit of their capabilities for Arsenal, and this time City will not let them be so close. I understand that Arteta really wants to become champions with Arsenal, but as long as City and Guardiola dominate the Premier League, they will be champions. Maybe this is Guardiola's last season in the Premier League, he has not yet decided definitively and will think about it closer to the end of the season.
