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.
If you look at some of the results of the matches that have taken place, Man City got a very promising victory in two matches and this is a big threat to other teams who want to win the English league title this season.
Man City is still the favorite to win because they still look so strong so far and if Man City is able to maintain consistency like last season then it will be much easier for them to retain the English League title.
But if we talk about the Champions League it will be much more difficult because there it is not only about the quality of the players and coaches, it could be that experience and opportunities are reasons that really need to be seen more broadly.
Man City always dominates the EPL and this season everyone has no doubt that Man City is still a strong candidate to lift the trophy, in the two matches that have been played Man City looks consistent and there are no problems at all, but this season Man City must be more careful against its tough competitors, namely Arsenal and Liverpool, because in the two matches that have been played Arsenal and Liverpool have not conceded at all this indicates that the defense they have is very solid so it is difficult to penetrate. therefore Man City must be more serious in every match that will be played in the future, if they do not want their trophy to be stolen this season.
