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.
What is clear is that it will not be easy for any team to be able to dampen Manchester City's ambitions and we can see last season even though they were a few points behind Arsenal in the end The Citizens were still able to shift the team from the city of North London. What is needed now is consistency and Arsenal cannot be said to have that for the past few seasons. Until finally Manchester City managed to lift the title again.
But I have paid enough attention to how Liverpool is with Arne Slot and that will be a tense breakthrough next season. Having a different style from Jurgen Klopp, it seems that Arne Slot will present a different atmosphere and that must be watched out for by Arsenal and Manchester City. I think Pep Guardiola will probably extend his contract with Manchester City and I am very sure as long as he is not tired of breaking other records.
