Arteta is right: The game is unprotectedThe Arsenal manager was left fuming over a controversial penalty against his team in their trip to Sunderland, while Manchester United were angry at Erling Haaland's winner — a goal that Pro Ref, the Premier League referees' body, later said an "error of judgement" had contributed to being awarded.

"Follow on XMultiple AuthorsEmailPrintOpen Extended ReactionsWhile we've been heading in this direction for a while, we truly entered a new era of Premier League managing this past summer. With the professionalization and corporatization of Premier League front offices, the all-powerful manager who picks the squad, scouts transfers, cuts the grass, and selects the color of the table linens in the canteen has nearly become extinct. Michael Carrick was named Manchester United's full-time manager in late May, and he's more tenured than half of the other coaches in the Premier League.
This is not a celebration of rising unemployment rates — rather, it's a check-in on the state of play across all 20 Premier League clubs. Mikel Arteta, ArsenalIt's not an exaggeration to say that we're never going to see another Premier League manager like Mikel Arteta. Arsenal showed extreme patience over his first few seasons with the club, including after eighth-place and fifth-place league finishes — and now they've got a Premier League title, look to be sizable favorites to grab another, and are simply just one of the best teams in the world.
At six-plus years with Arsenal, Arteta is — by far — the longest-tenured manager in the league, and he's the only coach in the league to win the Premier League.

But he's also the second-youngest manager to ever win the Premier League after Jose Mourinho's first two titles with Chelsea. They're going to challenge for the Premier League title, and they're going to challenge for the Champions League title. Then they fired Arne Slot just a year after he won the club's second-ever Premier League title, and now they have a new, sizable minority-ownership group. Unai Emery, Aston VillaIronically, the two longest tenured Premier League managers are Mikel Arteta and the guy Mikel Arteta replaced at Arsenal.
Villa have replaced basically every key player from the best Villa side of the Premier League era — and they've done it all in one summer. And sure, the eight points from four games is fluky — a plus-3 non-penalty goal differential from a minus-3 xG differential — but this was supposed to be one of the worst teams in Premier League history. So far, they're not even close to the worst team in the Premier League this season.
