Premier League 2018-19: 3 teams that are likely to win the title

#1 Manchester City

There is no doubt that the defending champions are the hot favorites to retain their title. Unarguably, they produced the best football in 2017-18, creating several records in their run to win the title. They are likely to start from where they left in the last season.

The best part of City's squad is their squad depth. They have replacements of equal quality in each position. That will allow Pep Guardiola to field a strong side whenever they walk to the pitch.

Benjamin Mendy, who missed most of the last season due to a knee injury, will be ready to charge down the left. Kyle Walker will play on the other side of the pitch with Kompany and Otamendi likely to start in most of the matches.

However, Danilo, Delph, Laporte and Stones will also get their starts as Guardiola is a master at rotating his squads.

Kevin de Bruyne is the best playmaker in the league, and topped the assist tally last season. David Silva is an artist on the field and enjoyed the best phase of his life under Guardiola.

Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez have proven themselves in the league and will threaten any defense in the league. Fernandinho and Gundogan will connect the midfield with the back four.

The defending champions have two of the best strikers in the league. Sergio Aguero is the club's record goalscorer, and Gabriel Jesus is his deputy. Ederson will initiate the series of passes from their half, making for a devastating attack.

Guardiola has everything in his armory. It's a squad that everyone dreams to have. The young talents, Foden, Diaz and Zinczenko, can also come into play if the manager asks them.

It is not an overstatement to say that Man City's reserve bench is also capable of winning the league. As of now, there is nothing to stop them.
