Despite the bad season for Manchester City firing Pep Guardiola might be a risky move. I hear rumors that Kevin De Bruyne might leave Manchester City after the end of the season. De Breyne was consistently good in the last several seasons, but it seems that he is too old and tired to maintain a high performance. City definitely needs new players and I don't know who is going to pick those new players. Will the owners of Manchester City just give Guardiola a "blank check" and let him pick the new players? I really don't know.
Liverpool seems too dependent on Salah, but Salah is having a great season so far, 25 goals and 15 assists, if I'm correct.

I just think the chairman will go on with Guardiola without doubt. There is no reason to sack him just for not meeting the expectations in one season. That'd be insane IMHO.
I think the scenario will be like this. Guardiola is going to be given another huge budget in the summer for new transfers. He is going to take action right away by putting the worst performers on the transfer list. Then he will replace them with better ones. Every player has an expiry date in the end. Like your example, De Bruyne. He is also aware how shitty he has been playing. Those long-running injuries must also have had some impact on that but anyway... I think we will see a comeback from Manchester City next season.
