Arsenal are enjoying a good start to their Premier League season under Mikel Arteta, a spell which has seen them sit top of the Premier League table, five points clear of defending champions Manchester City.

The Gunners have only failed to take maximum points in three of their opening 17 games, the draws against Southampton and Newcastle United and the defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Out of their 14 wins was one against their bitter North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur, a win that did not sit well with their rival fans as well as Heung-Min Son who is uninterested in Arsenal's success.

Son unconcerned about Arsenal

After tonight's game against Oxford United in the FA Cup, Arsenal will travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to take on their rivals as noted by Daily Express, and Son is not concerned with their progress as he said to Telegraph.

“I’m not interested, to be honest.” he said when asked about Arsenal being top of the Premier League table.
“We lost against them in the away game, so we have a lot of homework to make it good again. I think the fans were really disappointed when we lost at the Emirates, so I think we have a massive task at home. Everybody must be ready to throw their bodies in and we’re good to go,” he added.

Guardiola rates Arsenal's title chances

Sports Brief earlier reported that Pep Guardiola tips Arsenal to win the title and also believe the Gunners under his former assistant Mikel Arteta can reach 100 points, a record set by City in the 2018/19 season.

Guardiola and Arteta worked together at City and won three Premier League titles before the former Everton man left to take a permanent role at the Emirates Stadium.

The former Barcelona manager, despite tipping Arsenal for the title, will hope to overtake them and eliminate the five points advantage in their two legs, both of which City won last season.
