Manchester City not winning a trophy last season doesn’t count them out of next season’s title race. One off-season doesn’t make City a weak side. All signs in the transfer window indicate that Manchester City will want to win at least a trophy and compete for the league title next season to make up for the just concluded 2024/2025 season.
Yes, that is the fact we can use Manchester City performances from last season to judge their potential next season. So, their not so great form now doesn't mean that last season was a fluke, nor does it mean their form will remain the same. Manchester City is full of quality players, and they have signed some great players again to strengthen their team. It is very possible they will still sign more. So, with their transfers, I am expecting them to return to their great performances next season and possibly win some trophies.
However, winning the Premier League may not be that easy for them. Still, I believe they are among the favourites to win the league, because other teams are also trying to strengthen their squads. Next season's Premier League will be very tough.Just look at Liverpool and Arsenal the kind of players they have signed, and even plan to sign soon, shows their ambition. Chelsea is also doing well, judging by the results I’ve seen from them in the Club World Cup. So, it is very possible that Chelsea will also compete for the league title.
