Manchester City is a classic contender for the title and only mistakes from the other teams that allow it to stay the first. Several times Manchester City was running behind other teams like Arsenal but at the end they jump in the first place and win the title.
As long as Man City can continue to consistently win, or at least only draw from their strong rivals, yes City's chance to defend the EPL title for the umpteenth time remains big. Moreover, they are still with the same squad, the same coach, and the strength that may be even greater and consistent because they learned from last season's experience. The biggest challenge and they are targeting is to win the UCL, because last season it was taken over by their fierce rival, Real Madrid.

Manchester City standings pattern is slightly different from last season where Manchester City usually does not rush to be at the top, on the contrary we know that Arsenal at the beginning of last season was the most aggressive in leading the top, now it is the opposite and Arsenal is a little careful by not releasing all their strength at the beginning. Although not a special benchmark, I personally still see the competition between Manchester City, Arsenal, and even Liverpool will be more exciting after undergoing the league in the middle of the season.
I think City are not looking their best at the moment, a win over Ipswich shouldn't be a big deal, and Arsenal are quite good, and they didn't have any big problems even with Aston Villa. All the teams have the same number of points so far, no one has dropped points, but Arsenal's schedule for the next few games is more difficult, they have to play Brighton, who are looking very good, and Tottenham, Liverpool will go to Manchester United, maybe one of them will drop points. City's schedule is easier and they will host Arsenal only towards the end of September. Yes, Liverpool is also nominated besides Manchester City and Arsenal. Arne Slot got a good legacy from Klopp so it is not difficult for him to give something material to the players. The rhythm of the game applied by Slot can be said to be exactly the same as what Klopp did, only there are some additional techniques that make Mohammad Salah and his friends sharp again. But this is still early in the season and I think Slot must prove his capacity in this week's tight match.
Slot just continues the squad that has been built by Jurgen Klopp and the results are in line with everyone's expectations. This coach is quite reliable. Not many changes occurred in the Liverpool squad. And there isn't even much movement in the transfer market this time. This makes it easier for Slot to adapt quickly and only needs to make a few small adjustments at Liverpool. And Liverpool's players were also able to immediately adapt to their new coach because there weren't many changes. Klopp has indeed inherited a good squad, and there is no need for major changes to the squad that Klopp has built apart from preparing the young generation for the long term of this club.Leicester again failed to get their first win of the season after having to bow to the host Fulham with a score of 2-1 and certainly this is not the result desired by Jamie Vardy and his colleagues. Previously Leicester had been tense when playing against Spurs and I thought the draw would be able to highlight their purpose of being here again. But it seems that it has not been realized and I am still waiting for a positive result from them.
On the other hand, West Ham who had fallen against Aston Villa in the first week, has managed to avenge their defeat in the match against Crystal Palace and the result was 2-0 for the Hammers squad. This is a good start for West Ham at the start of the season considering the competition is still ongoing between teams to continue to improve their position in the standings. However, there is doubt after this victory, West Ham must also play a match against Manchester City and it is certain that they will lose points again later.
A disappointment from the Leicester team and a consistent loss at the start of their EPL campaign made it very tough for the team and manager to gain momentum and return as a strong EPL team. Let's see it's very early to predict. On the other hand, West Ham who had fallen against Aston Villa in the first week, has managed to avenge their defeat in the match against Crystal Palace and the result was 2-0 for the Hammers squad. This is a good start for West Ham at the start of the season considering the competition is still ongoing between teams to continue to improve their position in the standings. However, there is doubt after this victory, West Ham must also play a match against Manchester City and it is certain that they will lose points again later.
I think Arteta deserves to be retained because he is the only one who is able to bring Arsenal to this point, even though this season he failed again in my opinion it was a ridiculous decision for management to fire him because he is the only coach who has brought Arsenal to become a competitor in the EPL for the past two seasons, surely Arsenal management understands the process experienced by Arteta and Arsenal to become a solid team because the process takes quite a long time and is not as easy as turning over your hand, let luck answer all of that regarding the championship title that has not been obtained until now.
In the last two seasons Arsenal have really improved under Arteta's guidance and this cannot be denied by the team management because last season Arsenal was also a challenger for the Premier League title even though they were not lucky enough to win the championship last season. And at the beginning of this season Arsenal have also been able to win two matches for a good start to the season so there is no special reason for the management to fire Arteta, unless this season Arsenal really gets bad under Arteta's guidance. The 3 newly promoted teams are having a tough time in the English Premier League as Leicester City are the only promoted team which had gained a single point via a draw against Tottenham. On the other hand, Southampton does have a men advantage against Newcastle United in their opening match but eventually they still lost that match without scoring any goal. I think the offense of Southampton are not that strong and Brentford should be able to claim an easy victory against Southampton.
Yes, it can be said that these three teams performed less than satisfactory in the two matches they played each. Only Leicester City managed to get 1 point, the rest of these two clubs, namely Ipswich Town and Southampton, suffered defeats. There are still many things that need to be fixed to be better in the next match. seeing this is still the second week in the premier league there is still time to fix it all, I hope there is a surprise that they will give this season in the third week they will get a fairly difficult opponent, Leicester will meet Aston Villa at home, Leicester can win but if you see their opponent is Aston Villa I am more inclined to a draw. on the other hand Ipswich will host Fulham, we know in the second week they beat Leicester 2-1, I think a narrow victory will be obtained by Fulham, and as you said about Southampton it is clear that Brentford is favored and can achieve maximum results at home.but what I want to see these three teams can surprise the EPL this season, and I look forward to that
Man City looks like it will still be the club with the most potential to win the title again this season. Seeing them play has really proven that they are on a different level from other teams. Arsenal and Liverpool might indeed compete closely with them. And Arsenal should be the strongest to compete with Man City. But now Liverpool also looks just as strong. I didn't expect that Arne Slot could immediately put this team in good form at the start of the season. It seems he already knows how to continue the strategy used by Klopp. So Liverpool remains stable even though they have a new coach. Brighton entered the competition at the start of this season. But I'm not sure they will continue to be consistent with results like now.
Manchester City standings pattern is slightly different from last season where Manchester City usually does not rush to be at the top, on the contrary we know that Arsenal at the beginning of last season was the most aggressive in leading the top, now it is the opposite and Arsenal is a little careful by not releasing all their strength at the beginning. Although not a special benchmark, I personally still see the competition between Manchester City, Arsenal, and even Liverpool will be more exciting after undergoing the league in the middle of the season. 
I think you should allow Chelsea fans to celebrate their first win of the season because they can't remember the last time they got excited about their victory, even last season, they weren't comfortable with the way the club was playing, you're right, they should be happy for the time being, but they don't know how consistent the team will be, Madueke faced a weak team and scored his first hat trick for the club, but I doubt he will do so again, he has already scored three goals, one behind Haaland, but let's see how many he can score this season.
I don't know why some people here are not happy seeing Chelsea fans smiling. Reading lots of posts here justifies how eager people are to see their downfall. Madueke scored against wolves and not a newly promoted club but you're calling wolves a weak team? Wolves that has been maintaining their top flight campaign in Premier league for several seasons is now being considered a weak team because they played against Chelsea. I know they have been struggling too since last season but they're a solid mid table team with strengths and are very competitive in the league. Chelsea overpowered them with a thunderstorm scoreline but it doesn't make them a weak team.

We should not underestimate Arne Slot's ability to maintain this level throughout the season. I don't think Slot will have any problem maintaining Klopp's level in the Premier League, the players have already adapted to the team and the league, so I am confident in their performances this season. However, I think Slot will have a problem competing in the Champions League because he lacks experience in such competitions, and they will play against clubs from different leagues, even last season, Slot's club previous club was eliminated in the group stage, so I believe Liverpool will face difficult challenges in the Champions League.
Liverpool for now has been consistent with their performance and Slot is maintaining Klopp results in the club. Until the UCL draw is finally out, I don't see them having problem like we are presuming. The club he managed last season doesn't have the kind of players Liverpool possessed at the moment and that makes it inaccurate to compare.
Everybody jubilating for Chelsea, but how consistent can they go? Good job today in between. But how many goals can Noni Madueke contribute? Or will he fold after his first hat trick for the club. Todd Boehly must be happy but we will see how well his defense can cope. Attackers seems to be nuclear weapons.

Oh hello Lannakosa! Exactly, Slott seems like a positive guy and so far he's done well not to change things too much. Klopp left an already strong team, so it is difficult to improve. Let's hope Liverpool continues to dominate and have a good season!

I also think that City did not have the best season last year and this is what gave Arsenal the opportunity to follow City until the very last round. And although in the last season it seemed that Arsenal became a more stable team, I am not in a hurry to say that Arteta will completely get rid of this problem, and therefore I do not think that Arsenal can become the main competitor for City this season, at least until the first decline.
Many people want Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season after failing twice, I think if they fail for the third time it will be very painful for Mikel Arteta and I'm afraid the club won't trust him anymore.Sometimes I feel the Club Management are okay with the progress. Yes, I know that the longer he stays the better the team becomes.
I think if the club had wanted a quick result, they would have appointed a world Class coach.
Nobody has said otherwise in the last 2 seasons. I’m simply saying efforts without results is not it at all.
Even Arteta knows he has to win the EPL title.
Time in football is very short. It evolves faster than other fields in terms of tactical changes & career longevity. Time can no longer be considered as a constraint to Arteta.

As for me, I wouldn’t say that Manchester City did not have the best season last season, but I would rather say there is improvement in Premier League competition. Last season, some of these average teams really improved, and that is the reason why Manchester City was not able to beat them easily like in previous seasons. So Manchester City really performed well last season despite Arsenal. I believe even this season that is what will happen, so it's not that Manchester City did not have the best season last season, and that is why Arsenal got the opportunity to perform at that level. Even two seasons ago, Arsenal’s performance was similar.Looking at Arsenal’s performances, it is really clear that Arsenal is the main competitor in the Premier League currently. They have the squad, and we are observing improvements from them.
I think they are now at a stage where if they don't win the league this season it is entirely their(Arteta) fault (loss of form, lack of X factor etc), not that they are not capable of winning the league with this squad.
Last season showed that the league was theirs if they wanted it. Apart from Haaland, I don't see where Manchester City blows them out of the water in terms of quality.
Sure, I know they’re levels above Arsenal right now but it’s not by big margins anymore. They will line up vs Manchester City now and it’s anybody’s game, I don’t think they aren’t inferior to them anymore.
They have the best shot this season. I expect a great season from them. Pep doesn’t really have the motivation to win again.

This season we will see if Mikel Arteta can make Arsenal stable and consistent until the end so they can compete in the title race with Manchester City, for now we can't see how their overall performance is because they have just started the season, but if it gets to the middle we will definitely be able to see how strong they are and their points difference so we can see the performance of Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola this season. Many people want Arsenal to win the Premier League title this season after failing twice, I think if they fail for the third time it will be very painful for Mikel Arteta and I'm afraid the club won't trust him anymore.

As long their manager and their players are still in the team, it will give them the opportunity to challenges those teams that gave them though time last season, because their manager still released more impact to his players which his players will definitely going to display what will make them to create more fear in the mind of many teams. I don't have full assurance that Manchester city will win the champion league title, because Real Midred and other teams are more focus on that champion league title than other titles, but for premier league title, Manchester city will still going to win the title again.
Meanwhile, Manchester United are lucky because they are playing at home, they will get full support from the fans, Liverpool must remain vigilant when visiting Old Trafford even though they are favored to win the match.
I agree with you. I also favor Liverpool to win the match. Even with a new coach, I see Liverpool can still play like in the Klopp era. They are very solid and are one of the title contenders. After winning their first match, they lost surprisingly to Brighton. I think the match will be a draw. This shows that Manchester United still have problems in their defense. The best result that can be obtained in this match is a draw. However, I think the Liverpool squad will be motivated to get a win because they have won two matches and have not conceded a goal.
Liverpool New manager Arne Slot seems to have a better understanding of his players and the tactics that helps bring out the best from them unlike his Manchester United counterpart Erik ten Hag who's still struggling with results this season and that I think will play a huge role in deciding who wins the game between the two sides.
While some teams in the Premier League like Arsenal and Liverpool tried to get improve by hiring more players and they spent too much money and Manchester United was not losing these days, so they hired Manuel Ugarte the player of PSG.
They made Manuel Ugarte accept to join this team and play for them a few weeks ago but Manuel Ugarte was under contract with PSG and PSG didn't agree to let him leave and finally Macnshter United could hire Manuel Ugarte for 50 million euros.
They made Manuel Ugarte accept to join this team and play for them a few weeks ago but Manuel Ugarte was under contract with PSG and PSG didn't agree to let him leave and finally Macnshter United could hire Manuel Ugarte for 50 million euros.
This is the best signing for the Manchester United team this season, since they are signing players this season signing Manuel Ugarte is the best signing for them, but signing the player doesn't mean that Manchester United will start winning all their games, Manchester united is not the team we all know before the team has changed to Erik ten Hag team, the coach is just doing like he is the owner of the team by signing any player he likes and still he won't use a good player's to start a game, to be honest, I prefer Erik ten Hag to be sack from the team because I don't see any quality of a good coach from him.
I started complaining about Erik ten Hag about the kind of players he used to start games since last season and he keeps doing that and that is why they always lose to even a small team, Manchester united games against Brighton show that they need to send the coach away and if they are sending him away they should send some player's that he signs and they are not serious, a player like Onana needs to leave Manchester United, he is not goalkeeper, he is a goal conceded goalkeeper.

If you look at some of the results of the matches that have taken place, Man City got a very promising victory in two matches and this is a big threat to other teams who want to win the English league title this season.
Man City is still the favorite to win because they still look so strong so far and if Man City is able to maintain consistency like last season then it will be much easier for them to retain the English League title.
But if we talk about the Champions League it will be much more difficult because there it is not only about the quality of the players and coaches, it could be that experience and opportunities are reasons that really need to be seen more broadly.
Nothing has changed from Manchester City, in the last few seasons they have been quite strong and for this season too but I believe that for the competition for the Premier League title this season the Manchester City team will face much more difficulties than previous seasons because we can see some of their rival teams who have also experienced an increase in quality this season so that it is possible for a much fiercer competition.Man City is still the favorite to win because they still look so strong so far and if Man City is able to maintain consistency like last season then it will be much easier for them to retain the English League title.

For the Champions League, Manchester City is actually also favored, but it must be admitted that it is much more difficult but I think the Manchester City team still has a big chance of winning the Champions League title this season.
Manchester City in recent seasons have dominated the Premier League and no one even doubts they will be back in title contenders this season, compared to Manchester City in fact many other teams in the Premier League have improved their squad by bringing in many new players but still Manchester City is still a strong candidate to end the season as the defending champions this seasons, Manchester City have only brought in two new players this season but they are still better than the Chelsea team who have even brought in 12 new players because the mentality and consistency possessed by Manchester City is much better, in the last two seasons Arsenal is the main competitor of Manchester City and they are still not strong enough to prevent Manchester City from winning the Premier League.
Previously Manchester City were quite balanced in the English league and the Champions League, for this season the Champions League looks like it will be difficult for them but even so we can't be too quick to get Manchester City out of the Champions League favorites this season.
