It's really hard to hold Manchester City to be the EPL Champion, if you look at the opposing candidates to be facedat the end of the competition, it is impossible they will not be champions.
If they see their oppenents who on peper can easily be conquered (other than Spurs of course). but the not forget that if we look at the standings board, there are 4 oppenents who are struggling to avoid the city of degradation. Do not forget also the psychological effects that may occur on the City players if they really get rid of Livepool in the round of the 8 UCL.
So it is very diffcult to hold the City so Champions, only Tottenham who become their toughest opponent, the rest quite easy, so once again, Manchester Citywill be the Champion of the 2018 season.
