Statistics show that Arsenal have improved defensively under Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has experienced mixed reactions during his 13 months as manager. Arteta Arsenal’s may have made the worst start to a Premier League campaign in over 40 years but recent form could turn their fortunes around.
The Gunners are unbeaten in the Premier League in their last six matches and have shifted into the top half of the table after being just four points away from the relegation zone some time back.
Arteta has enjoyed success and also received heavy criticism during his tenure but he has managed to solve one of Arsenal’s biggest issues and it might not be talked about enough.
