Who can dethrone Pep Guardiola's Manchester City?

Having won the league championship 5 times in 6 years and achieved three consecutive Premier League titles for the first time, Guardiola's Manchester City has undoubtedly become a "dynasty".
In the more than 100-year history of England's top league, only 5 teams have achieved 6 times in a row. The earliest was Huddersfield (1924-26) 97 years ago, and then Arsenal (1933-26). 35), Liverpool (1982-84) peaked in the 1980s, while Manchester United in the Ferguson era had two (1999-2001 and 2007-2009).

As for the four consecutive championships, it has never happened, but CAB주소 seems that the current Manchester City may become a reality in a year, or even a longer consecutive championship record.
After all, Guardiola's Manchester City has already achieved great success. Even the disadvantage of falling behind by 8 points at one time can catch up and win the championship early.
In this state, many people must have the same question in their hearts: Who else can stop Guardiola's team from continuing to dominate the Premier League in the future?


Pep Guardiola


The team without the Champions League fixtures is most eligible?



In this season, Arsenal "almost" succeeded in preventing the official establishment of the Manchester City dynasty. They were the leaders in the standings until late April, and they didn't completely fall behind after losing the direct dialogue between the two sides.
Obviously, the Gunners' youth and courage to challenge are worthy of affirmation and respect, but we must also understand that this young team's sudden emergence this season is actually mixed with many accidental factors.
If most of the BIG6 hadn't encountered difficulties, including Manchester City's downturn for a while, Arsenal, which took the lead in making efforts, might not be able to occupy the high ground from the start stage.

By next season, Arteta's team will face an unprecedented test. After returning to the Champions League after many years, they will also lose an advantage over their competitors. Arsenal has no European competition tasks; by 2022-23, Arsenal, which once competed for the championship, has not been under the pressure of the Champions League.
In the future, they may be too busy to take care of themselves. After all, the most obvious shortcoming of the current team is that the lineup is not deep enough. Although the main force is strong, they can only play in the league.

If Arsenal's Premier League rankings slip next season, I believe it will not surprise too many people. Although they will definitely strengthen in the summer, it is not easy to make the expanded team soar in strength in a flash. An easy thing to do.
Ever since, when discussing next season's "Manchester City challenger", the most popular candidate is not Arsenal, but Liverpool, which now seems hopeless for the top four.

Is this because Liverpool can't play the Champions League? This can be regarded as one of the elements, but more importantly, Klopp is the only coach who has ever competed with Guardiola in the Premier League and defeated the "full form of Manchester City".
After Guardiola transformed Manchester City into shape and won the league championship in the 2017-18 season, he was only interrupted to defend the title once in the Premier League, and that was the 2019-20 season when Liverpool won the championship. In addition, don't forget that in 2018-19 and 2021-22, Liverpool was only 1 point behind Manchester City in the end.

Of course, the downfall of this season is enough to show that Klopp is facing the biggest dilemma since he landed in the Premier League. It is not easy to regain his glory, and it is even more difficult to overthrow Guardiola again.
In this regard, we can only say that Liverpool still has some basic conditions. For example, although their lineup renewal seems to be lagging behind, at least they have spent a lot of money. Although newcomers such as Nunes and Huckpo are temporarily unable to meet At the height of the year, there is also an upward trend and a huge room for improvement.

In addition, there are still some good rumors about Xia Tian's reinforcement. Although Bellingham, who has been staring at him for a long time, cannot be bought, Brighton's McAllister, Chelsea's Mount or Bayern's Grafenberg have the opportunity to become Liverpool's new force. The last time the league slumped, they only won the third place in the 2020-21 season. Liverpool rebounded very quickly. This time they fell even harder. I wonder if they can come up with a stronger response.


More money can win in the future?

In addition to Liverpool, Manchester United is also a team that is expected to make "progress" next season, and in terms of preventing Guardiola from winning the trophy, Manchester United should even be considered the team that is expected to achieve this goal the fastest-the FA Cup on June 3 In the final, if Ten Hag's team can win the Manchester Derby, then Manchester City's treble dominance will naturally come to an end, regardless of whether the latter can beat Inter Milan in another week.

This sounds a bit like "mission impossible", but at least in January this year, Manchester United also reversed Manchester City 2-1 with a tenacity. Of course, in order to really challenge the neighbors who are no longer what they used to be in the longer term, Manchester United needs to be reborn in the true sense-it is best to change to a richer and more generous boss.
In all fairness, Ten Hag has indeed brought a lot of positive changes to the team, but it is not so easy to resolve all the troubles left by the deviation for many years. The current Manchester United lineup also has obvious flaws, such as the lack of a top scorer with particularly guaranteed scoring data.

Manchester United needs a strong summer, and it is best to win the rumored Osimene or Kane.
Tottenham, where the latter is located, is one of the traditional BIG6. This season, it feels like it will be expelled from the Premier League giants. The cooperation with Conte failed, and it has been difficult to determine the direction of selection after Conte was fired. In this way, there is a high probability that they will need to "start over" next season, and it is difficult to be qualified to compete with Manchester City.

Given that Newcastle is only 1 point away from securing the Champions League qualification for next season ahead of schedule, this "upstart" must be included in the discussion. With the endorsement of the Saudi Public Investment Fund, whose wealth far exceeds that of the Abu Dhabi royal family, it is not surprising that Newcastle will dominate the Premier League one day.
With the support of wealth, the team has indeed made rapid progress. Last year, it once fought for relegation, and this year it is expected to rank third in the league. Just going one step further, the difficulty will inevitably double, and Newcastle's development strategy is actually quite successful.
They value the long-term future more than just fighting for the immediate pick. On the day of Newcastle's success in the hegemony, Guardiola may not necessarily still be in Manchester City.

In the end, we seem to be unable to completely rule out Chelsea, one of the BIG6.
Although they have been extremely chaotic this season and have been reduced to be grateful for early relegation, after all, the new boss spent 600 million pounds to reinforce, which is enough to demonstrate their ambitions.
Therefore, some British media still have imaginations about Chelsea: What if the team is built into the second most valuable team in the world after Pochettino comes?

For example, WhoScored recently posted a piece of data that pointedly: Manchester City is one of the opponents that Pochettino least wants to face, and the average score per game when leading the team against it is only 1.05. And facing Guardiola, who is only one year older than himself, Pochettino is always a little shorter in momentum. Under this premise, if Chelsea can return to the front row to disrupt the situation in the future, it may be considered a success.
