Mikel Arteta has admitted that he takes Tottenham seriously as title contenders, given how well the Lilywhites have started the season.
Despite Spurs playing some of the best football across the Premier League so far, and remaining the only unbeaten side in the competition, many understandably remain sceptical about whether the club can challenge the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal over the course of the campaign.
Many pundits have suggested that Tottenham simply do not have the squad depth to push the big guns until the business end of the campaign (talkSPORT).
However, Pep Guardiola disagreed with this assessment, stating last week that he expects Ange Postecoglou’s men to fight it out until the very end, particularly since they do not have European football to worry about this season (Football.London).

Pep Guardiola and Arteta both see Spurs as title rivals
Arteta has now remarked that Tottenham have to be taken seriously given their position at the moment.
When asked if Spurs can compete for the big prize, the Gunners boss said (via The Metro): “They are right there now, and they merit to be where they are, so yes.”
Spurs Web Opinion
Guardiola and Arteta are understandably being respectful to Spurs and Postescoglou. However, I suspect that privately, they do not see Tottenham as a big threat and are more worried about each other and Liverpool, which would be understandable given that we are at the start of a new project.
