Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are the best team in the Premier League at the moment, as quoted on The Arsenal Way.
Guardiola has said that since Arsenal are at the top of the Premier League table at the moment, the Gunners have to be considered the best team in England right now.
Not Manchester City.
City won the league title last season, and many will still back them to win the championship again this campaign.
The Citizens lost to Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday.
Arsenal got the better of Wolverhampton Wanderers in the league on Saturday.
The Gunners are now five points clear of second-placed City at the top of the table.

When asked if Arsenal are the best team in the Premier League right now, Guardiola said: “Yeah. Who is the first in the Premier League because you are the best team.”
Title race
In our opinion, Arsenal are very much in contention for the Premier League title this season, and Manchester City have to be careful.
Yes, City have the best team in England right now, but it is Arsenal who will head into the World Cup break at the top of the standings.
As many as five points clear.
Arsenal could well decide to delve into the transfer market when the window opens in January.
And that would make the Gunners even stronger.
