People are sleeping on City, you may like them or hate them but they were 4 time winners up until last season. Yes they had a bad season last year, I agree, but they are going to do better I believe. Do I have any data to back that up? Of course not, but I am just guessing like everyone else.
Just because Liverpool bought some great players on top of the title win, doesn't make them suddenly better, they may end up having issues, who knows? But most shows them as leading candidate, isn't that a guess? What if Wirtz gets injured? All of these are guess, and I guess City is the best team yet again, as long as Guardiola is there, he will figure out a way to get this team back on its feet with the new players he got and will do a great job.
