Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has praised the work of Mikel Arteta so far and claims that Arsenal are "back" after their ideal start to the campaign. The Gunners currently lead the champions by one point in the Premier League, sitting top with eight wins from nine so far.
It has led to many believing they could be part of an unlikely title push after bolstering in the summer, with former manager Arsene Wenger and current midfield star Granit Xhaka claiming they can achieve something special. Despite that start, Arteta has been coy on such talk, claiming the side haven't achieved anything yet.
‘It’s a really hungry and humble team, believe me. It’s nothing that we have done yet, and there are still a lot of things to improve. That’s the direction we’re taking. We just started, and we’re really happy with where we are. The table says what it says, and we don’t look at that."
