Arteta is also a Pep assistant, which goes to show you that Pep is such a good coach that even his assistants are good enough to rival him, and this is going to stay good. Arteta vs Pep is a great matchup, and makes it such a good feeling knowing their history together. I know that it is going to be very tough for either team, they will both face each other until the final games, they will both keep being good.
Arteta surely learn a lot of things under Pep Guardiola while he was his assistant coach. He has been a very important assistant to Pep because he was a good player with leadership qualities and he is very sharp to figure things out which has helped pep and Manchester City team towards achieving several titles they won ahead of Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester United then. He is now a good coach and a great rival for Pep since he joined Arsenal and there is hope for Arteta to make it this season.
I mean that is only if the season goes like the past two seasons, maybe this season one of the teams will do badly but I doubt that would be the case. This year we also have two other teams that I am checking closely, one of them is Liverpool because they have a new manager with Arne Slot and still doing great which is very important but it has been just a few games, lets see if they keep doing this great for a while longer.
And another is Brighton, the team that spent the most money on the transfer window more than any other team, so I think they are looking decent as well and could be good. Those are my candidates for top four this season, I can't rank them, but I know that these teams will be top four, maybe I am wrong and they won't be, but it looks like a good possibility.
Liverpool under Arne Slot seems to be more confident this season than they were last season, even without signing players, they have a good star by winning all their first four matches. This is a good start for a new manager taking over a team without signing players, and for a big team like Liverpool, we most praise Arne Slot for good his effort towards maintaining the team’s standard. Although, I am not seeing them among the top two teams to compete for the title because I am still hoping on Arsenal because of their performance in the last two season.
For Brighton; I think it is normal for them, they do always have a good start but they lack consistency, they will always struggle to make it to the top four, but they do end up in the top ten after all the games for the season. This season just started, let’s watch and see how well they will do in their next five matches before we can talk about them.
