Before the final game week of Premier League action got underway, five points was the gap between Manchester City in second and Newcastle United in third, with Arsenal leading City by two points. Granted, the league season is not even halfway complete, but there seems to be two clear title challengers emerging.
Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola are the two managers who have guided their respective teams to 10 or more Premier League wins with Arsenal on 11 and City on 10, placing a significant gap between themselves and the rest of the chasing pack.
Many are still considering City as the favourites, due to their familiarity of being at the top and winning the league for the last two seasons, but Arteta has quietly built a frightening young squad who could certainly prevent a third successive reign for City. However, a 2-1 defeat at home to Brentford has thrown a spanner in the works for Guardiola's side.
