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.
Manchester City dominated the league for four years. No team can win the Premier League single-handedly for years on end. This isn't the Bundesliga, nor is it like any other league. I think Manchester City was as good as it could be for those four years.
This season's Premier League will be different; many factors will be at play, and early transfers are still ongoing. There's no need to underestimate Manchester City just because they had a bad season. Perhaps they'll be among the top contenders for the title this season. Like you, I'm trying to predict. We're just sharing our thoughts before the league starts.
Manchester City were in their prime when they dominated the EPL and won the league for 4 consecutive seasons I don't see them repeating it soon but another team can still do it may be Liverpool, Chelsea or probably Arsenal when they finally wake up from slumber but you see the league next season it's going to be full of competition because the big teams are spending money on good players teams like Arsenal and Manchester United is making good moves also I think it's unpredictable to say the team that will win the league for now.
