Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has won more games at this stage of the season than Pep Guardiola did with Manchester City in his first campaign.
Sarri could be shown the door if Chelsea lose to City in tomorrow's Carabao Cup final.
This despite he has won more matches than Guardiola did with City at the same stage in his debut season in England (28 out of 43 compared to 27).
Guardiola lost 4-0 at Everton, for example. He seemed to think Sergio Aguero was over the hill. He underestimated the physicality in England and failed to address Claudio Bravo's flaws.
Manchester City gave Guardiola time – and money – and are now reaping the rewards.
