It will be a big day for Arsenal if they can overtake Liverpool, but it will be a huge moment for Mikel Arteta regardless of the result as he takes charge of his 300th game as manager.

The game marks a special moment in a coaching career that has seen him overhaul the Gunners and make plenty of positive changes to put the club back in the right direction.

He isn't likely to have this in mind when on the touchline at the Emirates, but it will certainly be talked about before, during and after the game and fans will be hoping he can mark the occasion with a victory.
