After Manchester City won the English Premier League title last season, it is wrong to think that they will win the Premier League title every season. However, like last season, Manchester City has a good chance of winning the Premier League title this season as well. You are considering Liverpool and Arsenal as favorites to win the Premier League title, Liverpool and Arsenal are definitely favorites to win the Premier League title but you should have added Manchester City with these two teams. Manchester City is nothing to take lightly, last season we saw Arsenal compete with Manchester City but Manchester City celebrated the Premier League title with a few games in hand. Liverpool are doing well this season on the contrary Manchester City is doing quite well then it will be a tough competition between Liverpool and Manchester City and either of these two teams will win the English Premier League title.
All three teams look very good, but after the match with Liverpool, City have a nagging problem, Ederson, according to preliminary estimates, could be out of the game for a month. Most likely, he will miss the cup match with Newcastle and will not play in the match with Arsenal, which could perhaps be a very big problem for Guardiola. So far, each team has an almost equal chance, but the next few rounds could be decisive if Arsenal manage to win, or if City beat Arsenal.
If only Ederson is injured, it shouldn't be an obstacle for Manchester City to get a trophy because after all, as a big team, Manchester City should still be able to get good results even without Ederson. After all, atleast you can also compare it with what Liverpool experienced this moment because all of Liverpool key players were injured, including the goalkeeper, defender, midfielder and also the attacking players. However, Liverpool can still compete very well for the title this season so yes, if Manchester City only loses Ederson then it shouldn't be a problem for Manchester City to remain in the top three positions in the title race this season and also for other competitions.
