Discussing the upcoming Arsenal clash, David Moyes said in his pre-match press conference: "Since Mikel Arteta has come in he has done a brilliant job, got them going, won a couple of trophies and gone against the grain a bit where people might have thought he couldn't.
"As a manager, to have players who then go into management and do well is a great thrill.
"Mikel was always someone who has had a really good career, he’s worked under Arsene Wenger as well who would have given him a great idea of how things work at Arsenal.
He’s worked under Pep Guardiola, who arguably could be the best managers certainly in this period."
The West Ham boss continued: "So, he’s certainly picked up great advice from those managers, but look he was a clever boy as well and he’s stuck at it when things were a bit difficult and people might have been on his back.
"They’ve ended up coming through it, and quite often managers need that time to come through it."
It's nice to see rivals acknowledging Arteta's success as the Gunners remain on top of the Premier League standings.
Beating the Hammers would help us extend our lead at the summit, with second-placed Manchester City refusing to give up.
