Mikel Arteta's memories of his first game in charge of Arsenal are quite vivid.
It was Boxing Day in 2019 and after watching on from the stands as the Gunners played out a drab goalless draw away at Everton - less than 24 hours after being appointed as head coach - the Spaniard was in the dugout as his side travelled to the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth.
"It was raining, I got very wet! I was excited, nervous and very much looking forward to what was coming but it feels a long time ago," Arteta told reporters in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon. But what stands out most to the Arsenal manager is how much things have changed since.
