#3 The Champion One - Pep Guardiola, Manchester City
The most obvious entry on this list, Pep Guardiola is the top contender for winning English football's biggest prize with Manchester City. His side has steamrolled everyone in their way to win the title with four games still left to play. Further, the Spaniard has done this playing his fabled brand of football, previously seen at Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
In fact, Pep put an end to claims from the media and pundits on how the Premier League cannot be won as comfortably as seen in Spain and Germany, especially playing attacking football. Manchester City currently has a 13-point lead over second-placed Manchester United after 34 matches and still have a game in hand, something unheard of in English football.
The football has been a delight to watch and Pep's team always found answers as they went unbeaten until January when Liverpool inflicted their first defeat of the season. Thus, the numbers speak for themselves as Guardiola has arguably the best chance to win the award.
