Despite the activities of their rival clubs in the transfer market, it is evident that Manchester City remain the strong favourites to clinch the league title once again this upcoming campaign. With the likes of Kevin de Bruyne, Sergio Aguero, David Silva and Leroy Sané still at the Etihad Stadium, they undoubtedly have a side capable of defending their crown.
