LONDON, Dec 19 (Reuters) - It will be six ‌years to the day since Mikel Arteta took over as Arsenal manager when the Premier League ‌leaders visit Everton on Saturday, trying to protect a two-point advantage in pursuit of their first ‌top-flight title since 2004.

Arteta has led the North London club to an FA Cup and two Community Shields, but has fallen short in the league, with Arsenal finishing second in the last three seasons.
