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.
Personally, I'm still rooting for Manchester City in the EPL this season that's about to start, I believe what happened to them last season will be used as a stepping stone as even the manager himself wasn't himself last season. Yes, City has every tendency to improve and they have entered the market to purchase some players for the team. But in as much as they have these new players, it doesn't guarantee that they will win the league because even teams like, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal have all strengthen their squad and will be all out to challenge for the title.
Truth be told I don't see Liverpool to be having any issues coming this 2025/2026 English premier League campaign because with what I'm seeing Liverpool is still likely to win the league this coming season with the way they have even strengthen the the team I don't really see them to fail on this coming season because the squad is not lacking any thing and I believe this was the same step that gave Manchester City the league in four consecutive times, talking of Manchester City the will definitely show working but don't really think they can dominate as they use to as every team is really planning big ahead of next season.
