It seems that Manchester City is at the end of its glory era, Pep Guardiola seems to have lost his touch, they don't look like a team that once won the Premier League four times in a row. Arsenal celebrated a big win today with full of emotions, a win that maybe they themselves never imagined. Five goals scored by five different players, in my opinion, can explain how bad Manchester City defense line is. This big win certainly increases the pressure on Liverpool, and Arteta can still hope his team can lead the standings in the future.
In as much as Manchester City might be facing crisis at the club this season, that doesn't mean they are no longer a Premier League title contender. Next season, we may see a different Manchester City. Though their match against Arsenal was disappointing as their performance was shambolic but I believe whatever Manchester City is passing through is just a phase and will end.
Manchester City chances of becoming title contenders this season have been closed and the only target they can still achieve is of course to end the season in the UCL zone although it is also quite difficult, this season they have also had a bad run in the UCL and I think even to qualify for the round of 16 is also difficult for them because they are will facing Madrid in the playoffs, their slump this season is a surprise to us after their back-to-back league titles, but like you, I also think that they will bounce back next season for become Premier League title contenders again, because Guardiola will certainly get a huge financial backing to rebuild his squad next season.
