THE Premier League resumes this week after the international break and the procession will continue towards Man City claiming the title.
We have some of the best football managers in the world, some would say all the best football minds ply their trade here – the best league in the world.
At some stage, Arsene Wenger, Jose Mourinho and even Rafa Benitez have been winners of major titles whilst working in the Premier League.
But football is all about the ‘here and now’.

He is getting his best players working the hardest.
Is that genius?
Well it seems to be the key to success because a common grumble of fans is that some of their gifted players just don’t work hard enough.
Guardiola gets the absolute best out of his star talent like David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.
He also has technical players like Leroy Sane running through brick walls for the team.
The challenge for Wenger and Mourinho is surely to get the best out of their superstar players, and yes, teams other than Man City have superstar players.
The perfect storm is great football, hard work and a winning mentality. It seems for now that City have it all.
