Mikel Arteta is set to finally lock horns with Antonio Conte, thus marking the third different Tottenham Hotspur manager he will come up against since returning to Arsenal in December 2019.
The Spaniard is no stranger to the North London Derby as a player as well as a coach. In his role as the latter, he faced Jose Mourinho three times and Nuno Espirito Santo once, winning on two occasions - both at the Emirates Stadium - and losing the others away from home.
For Thursday night's North London Derby - which was initially scheduled to take place in January but was postponed after Arsenal's request was granted - in the opposite dugout to Arteta at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be Conte, and the stakes could not be higher.
