Mikel Arteta has broken several records as the manager of Arsenal.

The Spaniard took charge of the Gunners back in December 2019, and he has completely transformed the club.

Arsenal are often the favourites going into big games now, and they have what it takes to beat any side in world football. What they did to Real Madrid last season is a great example.

Arteta is a phenomenal manager, and the 43-year-old could now add another feather to his cap.

Mikel Arteta could achieve an incredible feat against Pep Guardiola when Arsenal face Manchester City

Pep Guardiola is the greatest manager of all time.

The Spaniard has won 39 major trophies in his career so far and has rarely ever had a bad season in his years of management.

Almost every manager who has faced Guardiola has suffered at the hands of his sides over the years. Mikel Arteta has had to endure some pain too.

However, the Arsenal boss is unbeaten in his last five games in all competitions against Guardiola’s City, four of which have come in the Premier League.

The last time the two sides met, the North Londoners smashed five against the Cityzens to pick up a memorable 5-1 win.

Now, if the Gunners avoid defeat at the Emirates on Sunday, Arteta will become the first manager in the history of football to go five league games unbeaten against Guardiola.

That would be a magnificent achievement.

Arsenal have another added motivation to beat Manchester City

A record for Arteta is all well and good, and we’re sure the Arsenal players will do everything they can to help their manager achieve that feat.

However, many of them will want to beat Manchester City for another key reason – Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The Italian was the biggest reason why Arsenal crashed out of the Champions League last season. The Gunners could’ve won the competition if it hadn’t been for him.

Now, Donnarumma has signed for Manchester City, and all the players who felt the pain in the semi-finals last season will have some added motivation to score past him on Sunday.
