Mikel Arteta's surprise title challengers are flying. Arsenal sit five points clear of Man City with a game in hand after Sunday's dramatic 3-2 win against Man United.

The Spaniard - who spent more than three years as Guardiola's assistant at the Etihad between 2016-2019 - is showing why he's always been so highly-rated as a coach.

Understandably, with Arsenal's success and Arteta's experience under the City boss, there have been several parallels made between the sides over recent months regarding the way they play.
