Mikel Arteta is perhaps the perfect man to try to drag Arsenal out of Manchester City's shadow, given he is embarking on the same journey in his own managerial career. The Gunners face City in an FA Cup semifinal at Wembley on Saturday (stream LIVE on ESPN+ at 2:45 p.m. ET in the U.S.) having not won any of their previous seven meetings, dating back to the last time they met in the world's oldest cup competition.
It was at the semifinal stage in April 2017 that Arsene Wenger's Arsenal edged past a City side yet to complete a full season under Pep Guardiola, flanked in the dugout by Arteta, then his right-hand man.
