Before I didn't include Chelsea in my list of the top three teams I thought would win the Premier League title next season. My previous top three list was Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, but considering Chelsea's performance in the Club World Cup, if they really do continue to play that well this season, they will outperform Manchester City. The issue Manchester City facing right now, in my opinion, isn't the absence of any of their star players, but I can state with confidence that other Premier League teams have understood Guardiola's patterns, because no manager has ever won four straight Premier League titles as Pep Guardiola has. which I think he will face more more challenges this coming season. and that's what makes the Premier League different from other leagues,
You should have seen how Chelsea performed to end the last season in top four before making conclusion on the top three teams that has the opportunity of winning the premier league. Chelsea even if they didn’t go on to win the club World Cup had already won my vote to be amongst the potential teams that will win the premier league title.
Until the season starts before we can really tell which teams will be more or the top choices for the premier league title because of the nature of the competition, premier league is very unpredictable and conclusions can be made so easily without enough facts. Those facts will only come when the season fully starts, so it is better we wait till then before making conclusion about the matter.
