Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen predicts that Manchester City will finish fourth in the Premier League this season, behind Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa.

Despite some speculation about key players leaving, Manchester City has managed to retain players like Ederson, Kyle Walker, Kevin De Bruyne, and Bernardo Silva. While there were offers from other clubs, these players ultimately decided to stay at the Etihad Stadium, maintaining the team’s core strength going into the new season.
Owen’s prediction contrasts with the opinions of other pundits, as most experts believe that Manchester City will continue their dominance and potentially retain their title.
