To think that Mikel Arteta whose team Arsenal have been Manchester City's runners-up in the last two seasons in the English Premier League is a Pep Guardiola protege I think explains the level of dominance of the Spanish manager have in the league. Manchester City are not just the favorites to retain the league title this season but the undisputably best performing team in the league at the moment. Talking about underestimating their opponents, Manchester City's Pep Guardiola isn't a manager that undermines the strength of any team he's facing so I'm pretty sure he'll play every like a final.

Arteta has been consistent but in everything they are doing, he is one step below his former boss but I love his confidence and how he has reshape his formal club when he was still playing the game. Lampard that was ex Chelsea star can't do the same for his club after given half season, he wasted their time and resources with failed games even when their main players weren't on injury, only Kanye was and it's understandable but Arteta wins even when he players are not fit to play.

I don't know what might actually go wrong with Manchester City but when it comes to the God of football management, give it to Guardiola, he knows the job better than anyone and remember he didn't start today, he was there right from when he was in Barcelona peak when they were winning any trophies that comes their ways. He is just that exceptional coach and I hope Arsenal get the chance to win too but definitely not this season.

Guardiola does not like to give chances to his opponents and he tries to show this with his style of play. There are times when Guardiola's team loses points, but we don't see it very often. There are many qualities that distinguish Guardiola from other managers. His performances in the teams he manages are unique.

Arteta is also a good manager and has taken Arsenal to a better level. Maybe if he had a different team he could have done better and competed more comfortably against Manchester City, but I still don't think what he did at Arsenal is something to be underestimated.
