Boxing Day will mark a full year since Mikel Arteta returned to Arsenal and took over his first match as manager.
It has been a year of ups and downs for the rookie manager, with the highlights undoubtedly his FA Cup victory at Wembley, beating Chelsea in the final.
Arteta has also led the Gunners to big wins over Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United, with great optimism that he was starting to turn things around for the club.
But under his command, Arsenal have since had their worst start to the season since the 1974-75 campaign. After 14 games, they are considerably closer to the relegation zone than the top four in the Premier League with twice as many losses as wins.
With a full year to take stock, how does his overall record compare to his often maligned predecessor, Unai Emery?
Matches under the current Villarreal coach tended to be more scorers, with more goals scored and conceded, with less frequent clean sheets.
But after this recent drop in form, Arteta has a lower win percentage and a higher overall loss rate than Emery, who suffered just four more losses at Arsenal than his successor, despite taking over 26 matches. plus.
