Famous Proverbs apt for the Premier League's Top 6 teams

'The best league in the world', is a commonly used refrain among fans of the Premier League. And it's hard to argue with that. After all, which other league has 6 teams who are in with a genuine chance at winning the coveted title?

What makes it even more exciting and intriguing is that each of these teams have managers who use unique philosophies that they swear by, in attempting to reach for glory. While some of these approaches have served the managers well, some have often proved to be an Achilles heel.

Nevertheless, if you could offer one friendly piece of advice to each of these managers, what would they be? What if they can only be offered in the form of proverbs? Here are a few which would likely hold them in good stead.

Arsenal (Arsene Wenger) - Actions speak louder than words

Arsene Wenger has a lot of issues to attend to at Arsenal

With Wenger being renowned for dithering in the transfer market, his statements have often been the butt of jokes. Merely saying that Arsenal is looking for 'top, top, top' quality players and that the aim is to challenge for the title will not cut it anymore. It will have to be backed by concrete action, investment and results.

Liverpool (Jurgen Klopp) - Look before you leap

Heavy metal football is paying dividends

Jurgen Klopp's 'heavy metal' brand of football has been an absolute joy to watch thus far. But he would be the first to admit that they need to do better in terms of results. Their 'leaping', which can be equated to their forward play, has been great.

However, they need to be smarter when it comes to 'looking' i.e. their defensive play. The signing of Van Dijk could be seen as the first statement towards that objective.

Manchester City (Pep Guardiola) - Fortune favours the brave

Pep has seen his City team go from strength to strength

The suave coach will not need further validation from an external source to continue to play his famed and effective brand of attacking football. Although it may bring with it the odd blip like the recent 4-3 loss to Liverpool, Pep will know that continuing to stay true to his philosophy is the best way forward.

Tottenham Hotspur (Mauricio Pochettino) - Don't put all your eggs in one basket

Pochettino has transformed Tottenham into a consistent contender for the top 4 spots

What Pochettino has managed to achieve with Spurs has been nothing short of remarkable despite working with a far smaller budget compared to his rivals. It is difficult to find fault with the results that he has delivered given the constraints that he has worked under.

However, one area that can be seen as a concern is the lack of squad depth. Tottenham continues to be heavily dependent on his first-team regulars like Kane, Eriksen, Alli and Vertonghen. Although he has made efforts to address this, there is definitely room for improvement.

Chelsea (Antonio Conte) - If it ain't broke, don't fix it

Conte's transfer business has not exactly paid off

Winning the Premier League in the first attempt was an impressive achievement for Antonio Conte with players like Diego Costa and Nemanja Matic among others, playing an integral role in the title charge. However, cut to a season later and these two no longer figured in Conte's plans.

It can be argued, of course, that Costa had it coming with his erratic behaviour. But Matic's departure to a Premier League rival left a lot of people dumbfounded. Suffice to say that Bakayoko's arrival as Matic's replacement has not exactly gone to plan. Conte will do well to avoid such a scenario in future.

Manchester United (Jose Mourinho) - When in Rome, do as the Romans do

Jose's playing the way United should?

The appointment of Mourinho as United Manager brought with it a lot of debate as to whether he would be suitable for the 'Manchester United Way'. While his brand of football is not exactly reminiscent of what United fans had taken for granted under the Ferguson era, Jose's penchant for unnecessary media shenanigans has not helped matters either.

Although his (and likely the board's) immediate aim will definitely be to deliver results in the form of titles, he would do well to evolve to adopt an approach more characteristic to Manchester United if he intends to stay the course with the iconic club.
