Arsene Wenger has claimed Arsenal are the second best team in the Premier League this season, behind Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
The Gunners are flying high at the top of the table under the leadership of one of Wenger's former players in Mikel Arteta, having won seven of their opening eight games this season. The most recent of which came in the form of an emphatic 3-1 win over Tottenham at the Emirates in what was a fiercely contested derby day victory for Arsenal.
Goals from Thomas Partey and Gabriel Jesus either side of a Harry Kane penalty were enough to give the Gunners dominance, before Granit Xhaka's strike wrapped up the three points for Arteta's men and maintain their status as league-leaders for at least another week.
