The London team, just six months ago, won the Europa League but only finished seventeenth in the Premier League. As a result, Thomas Frank was invited to coach the team in the summer. He is performing well in the Champions League — they made it to the playoffs, even among the top eight. However, they were quickly knocked out of the cups, losing to Newcastle and Aston Villa. Most importantly, by mid-winter, they had more losses than wins in the Premier League. They even lost to West Ham, and only managed a draw with Burnley.
The Manchester giants finished only in the top three of the Premier League last season and then lost in the cup final. This season, results are better: they won the first away leg in the League Cup semifinal. In the Champions League, they also advanced to the playoffs without significant issues. However, in the Premier League, Arsenal managed to build a decent lead by mid-winter. After a couple of draws, their rival even lost the Manchester derby to United. Only weak Wolverhampton were beaten.
The London side scores an average of 1.43 goals per game and concedes 1.35. Guardiola’s squad has an excellent ratio: 2.04 goals scored per game and 0.91 conceded.
