The Citizens are only fourth in the league following a shock draw at Wolves, but on the whole they continue to impress, and they have had the most shots of any club by far. Pep Guardiola’s men have pulled the trigger 91 times - resulting in a league-high 11 goals so far. The three teams above City in the actual table are Chelsea, Liverpool and Watford. The first two of those clubs are in second and third on the table ranked by shots, with the Blues taking 76 and the Reds hitting 66.

Gary Lineker sends message to Arsenal supporters about Arsene Wenger

Wenger left the club in the summer after 22 years at the club, and despite many lows at his time, he never failed to take a point from Arsenal’s two opening games.

Unai Emery has achieved exactly that, and Lineker, a former-Spurs player and usually contrary on Twitter, jumped at the chance to remind Arsenal fans of the sorry stat.

Lineker tweeted: “Arsène Wenger never once lost the opening 2 Premier League games of the season during his tenure at Arsenal.”

Arsenal opened up the season with a 2-0 home loss to champions Manchester City last weekend, and then went down 3-2 to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge yesterday evening.

Emery has a monumental task following up the club’s most revered manager, as he will gradually try and unpick Wenger’s legacy at the club to implement his own ideas.

Wenger received a huge amount of criticism during the latter stages of his tenure at the club, as the club failed to win a league title since the 2003/04 season.

Lineker spent three years at Arsenal’s arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur between 1989 and 1992 and is clearly relishing Arsenal’s poor start to their life after Wenger.
