Does Magnus as the incumbent have an authomatic entitlement to defend his title if alive in 2020, without further qualification requirements?

Back before World War II, the World Chess Champion even got to pick who he would defend his title against. Alekhine played two WCC matches with Bogoljubov, for example, while avoiding a rematch with Capablanca.

So there will be a Candidates Tournament in Spring 2020 to decide the next challenger to Magnus.

Who do you think will win the Candidates Tournament to challenge Magnus in 2020?
