What an addition Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United have been to the English Premier League this season!

The enigmatic manager has always attracted attention due to his obsession with the beautiful game, and it has been evident this season. Leeds United have been beautiful to watch this season, with their attacking style of play and intense pressing game making them neutral's favorites.

They are currently 10th in the Premier League, an astonishing achievement as they are basically playing with the same squad that won the Championship last season. It has been an exciting ride to witness so far, and hopefully, there is more to come.


#2 David Moyes (West Ham United)

It is good to see David Moyes have a smile on his face and get the credit he deserves after a wonderful season with West Ham United.

The Hammers are 5th in the Premier League table, three points behind 4th-placed Chelsea. Finishing in the top four would be a genuinely amazing achievement, but playing in any European competition next season would be regarded as a success. Apart from this, it has been nice to see players like Jesse Lingard, Tomas Soucek and Declan Rice do well, and Moyes has rightly been appreciated for his role.

His stint with Manchester United may not have gone well, but there is no denying that Moyes is a smart and experienced manager and West Ham United are reaping the benefits after appointing him.


#1 Pep Guardiola (Manchester City)

Like Manchester United, Manchester City did not enjoy the best of starts to their season. However, they have been in frightening form for quite some time now and are arguably the best team in Europe this season.

Pep Guardiola's men are top of the league table, 11 points ahead of 2nd-placed Manchester United. They are in the semi-finals of the Champions League and will face Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup final.

They have often blown teams away this season with their incredible array of attacking talent, while the addition of centre-back Ruben Dias to their defense has proven to be crucial. If things go well, Manchester City could win all three trophies they are involved in.
