Paul Merson, a former player for Arsenal, believes that the only way in which Pep Guardiola’s teaching staff and players may prevent Manchester City from winning the Premier League in the upcoming season is if they allow themselves to become complacent and subjective.Greenwood is contemplating the possibility of making a comeback to play for Man United.The following was announced in football news on the morning of July 29: The Bayern star was awarded to Manchester United and Man City.
Arsenal just had one of their best seasons in recent memory, as they finished atop the Premier League standings for 248 days during the 2017–2018 campaign. Despite this, the London club was unable to hold on to their lead over Man City as the season came to a close because of their poor performance. They finished the year in second place, trailing the Blue Man by five points in the final standings.
In Erik ten Hag’s first season at Old Trafford, Manchester United finished third, however they are currently 14 points behind Manchester City. The stunning result of Newcastle United finishing in fourth place earned them a spot in the Champions League for the next campaign.
While Chelsea finished the season in 12th place, Liverpool could only manage a ranking of fifth. At this time, English teams are working to strengthen their rosters in the hopes of improving their level of competition in the upcoming season. Arsenal icon Paul Merson was asked by Sportskeeda to evaluate the teams who would compete for the title in the upcoming season.
I believe that Manchester City will continue to be the strongest contender for the Premier League title in the upcoming season. Ilkay Gundogan was allowed to go on a free transfer, and Mahrez was also allowed to leave for Saudi Arabia. Even if Kyle Walker is departing, Manchester City still has an extremely good bench.
“Despite the fact that Arsenal will continue to be City’s most formidable rival in the title fight, Declan Rice will need to acclimate himself to Arsenal’s playing style. They move the ball at a far quicker pace than he did at West Ham or for England when he was there. It’s possible that Arsenal will be able to put pressure on Man City, but I don’t see any chance of Liverpool challenging for the championship.
“When it comes to MU, a significant factor that will determine whether or not they take part in the race for the championship is whether or not they are able to acquire Harry Kane. Should they still have Kane, they will be a strong contender for the Premier League championship. If that does not happen, they will still be competing for one of the top four spots.”
It is unlikely that Chelsea will finish in the top four given how much work still needs to be done on the team. The Chelsea roster is not well balanced, and they do not have enough talented midfielders. At this point, complacency and subjectivity are the only factors that have a chance of preventing Manchester City from winning the Premier League title in the upcoming season.
