The Reds have clinched their second title in five years in convincing fashion.

Slot's record of just two losses in his first 34 league matches is an impressive feat, even if other contenders waned early in his first season.

Defending champions Manchester City were effectively out of the race before Christmas, and closest rivals Arsenal now trail by a significant 15 points.

When the new season gets underway in August, both clubs are expected to pose a stronger threat, and others from the chasing pack will aim to make their presence felt.

This consensus is shared by The Rest Is Football podcast hosts Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, and Micah Richards, who agree that Slot won't have it as easy going forward.

On their show, Lineker said: "What I think will happen is that both Manchester City and Arsenal will put up a better fist of things, and probably not have the amount of injuries that both clubs have had this season, and it'll be a lot tighter.

If they're gonna win it next season, it won't be as easy."

Lineker predicts a fiercely competitive title race for the 2025/26 season, hinting that City, in particular, are unlikely to remain subdued.

If the new players were to have another season under their belts, I really think Man City come strong next season.

So all of these questions need answering.

"But I just think the way City have fizzled out the league, even the fact they're still challenging to get into the top five for Champions League next season, I just know that won't sit right with Pep and next season they're going to come out firing, so it should be exciting."
