Yes, I also agree that next season will definitely be a much tighter season in the Premier League. Because as we know the big teams in the Premier League are indeed busy preparing their squads in order to become even greater. But even so, I don't think there is a strong guarantee that teams that recruit a lot of players can perform well next season. Therefore, although it is likely that the big teams in the English league are busy bringing in new players, but I personally only believe in Liverpool and Arsenal. Because Manchester City and Chelsea in my opinion are still quite doubtful to be able to enter the top 2 in the English league.

Manchester City is still part of the title contenders next season because judging by their performance last season, they were ultimately able to emerge from slump.
Now, Pep Guardiola has made many changes and they understand the negative aspects that need to be improved.
Liverpool and Arsenal may be considered stronger based on their performance last season and how active they were in the transfer market to bring in a number of players.
Competition in the Premier League will indeed be much tighter next season because most teams are overhauling their teams to strengthen and solidify their teams, but I believe that these three teams are still strong contenders for the title.

You're right, last season Manchester City did bounce back as the season was coming to an end, and at the time I also felt that Manchester City would do well again in the world cup. But the fact is that Manchester City performed less satisfactorily in the Club World Cup and more surprisingly they lost to a team like Al hilal. So with this, I am personally not too sure that Manchester City will return to being a great competitor in the English league next season. Because, basically at this time Manchester City is not lacking great players, because the squad is also currently quite a lot of star players. But it looks like Manchester City players need to increase their motivation again.

Because I think the fighting spirit of Manchester City's players is currently a little extinguished. Maybe this is because they feel they have become the strongest team in the English league. Because in the past few seasons Manchester City have always been able to win consecutively in the English league. So maybe that's why they already feel great and don't really develop their abilities to the maximum. Therefore, I think Pep must now be able to rebuild Manchester City players, so that they can return to their best performance again in the coming season. But if the Manchester City players still have the same mentality, I think Manchester City's performance will remain the same as in the past season.
