As long as Man City can continue to consistently win, or at least only draw from their strong rivals, yes City's chance to defend the EPL title for the umpteenth time remains big. Moreover, they are still with the same squad, the same coach, and the strength that may be even greater and consistent because they learned from last season's experience. The biggest challenge and they are targeting is to win the UCL, because last season it was taken over by their fierce rival, Real Madrid.
Yes, it would not be surprising if Manchester City can continue to consistently win matches like last season, then it is clear that the EPL title will again belong to Manchester City. Currently, Manchester City has started this extraordinary habit, by beating Chelsea in the opening match and also beating Ipswich Town in the second match. This is certainly a sign that Manchester City will most likely dominate the Premier League again. But even so, Manchester City's rivals in the Premier League, Liverpool and Arsenal also have very good performances. Because it was proven in the two matches played by Liverpool and Arsenal, the results of all matches could be won quite promisingly. So currently Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal have the same points in the Premier League. Maybe the scheme that occurs in the Premier League this season will definitely not be much like last season. But as for the final result, I don't know whether it will be the same or not. However, my prediction is that there will be quite exciting drama again this season.
And talking about Manchester City's chances at UCĹ, I think their chances of becoming champions are quite big. But Manchester City will definitely have more difficulties because their current biggest rival, Real Madrid, has brought in great new players, a big example is Mbappe. So with this, Manchester City's journey in the UCL this season will certainly not be easy anymore. Maybe Manchester City now just needs to improve teamwork, because even though Manchester City's chances are difficult again in the UCL this time, I am sure that if Manchester City can learn from last season's mistakes, the possibility of becoming champions is also quite large.
