Manchester City have dominated the Premier League in recent times winning the last four titles.
The season is just weeks away and the Sky Blues will be favourites to clinch a stunning fifth Premier League win in a row.
But, former Manchester United, Liverpool and England star Michael Owen has made a very bold prediction that Pep’s men may actually ONLY scrape a top four finish.

Speaking to Casino Hawks he said: “In terms of the order [of teams’ finishes], my thought process is if City are not gonna win it, they could actually drop away a little bit.
“It’s almost like if City are not gonna be really in the race after 10 games then their priority could go elsewhere – I think there could be a big surprise this season.
“I’m going to go for Arsenal first, Liverpool second, Aston Villa third and Manchester City fourth.”
He added: “I think City will either win it or they’ll drop away a few places and probably miraculously win the last 10 games to reach Champions League football next season or something strange like that.
“They’ll probably end up winning the Champions League if they do fall away in the league, but on the other hand they could go and win it again.
“However, I’ve just got a funny feeling this year about Arsenal because they’ve just got so much desire in their ranks, having not won it for such a long period of time. I’ve just got a funny feeling they could do it.
“With Manchester City and their champion mindset, when it starts to get out of reach it will be quite hard to play for second and having other things on the table might take precedence. I think it will be all or nothing.”
