"Mikel Arteta will celebrate six years as Arsenal's manager when the Premier League leaders visit Everton this Saturday, and he is hoping to mark the occasion with a win. Arteta replaced Unai Emery in 2019 and has gone on to lift an FA Cup and two Community Shields, while also coming close to ending the Gunners' wait for the top-flight title. The Spaniard has overseen 226 Premier League matches in that time, winning 134 of those games (D44 L48), averaging a win percentage of 59.3%."
"You have to have a lot of very good and committed people around you with the same vision, work ethic and passion. I am very lucky because I have had that. At the end, you need a lot of support and everyone who makes decisions alongside you. But the most important one is the players. The players have to buy into what you say and do. I feel very lucky because those players give you 100% in the direction you want every single day."
