Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice has praised manager Mikel Arteta this week and predicts he will win everything.

Arsenal aim to at least preserve their four-point lead at the top of the Premier League table after the November international break as they go head-to-head with North London rivals Tottenham this weekend

The Gunners have been incredible so far this season, and manager Mikel Arteta has so far shrugged off critics who predicted that his Arsenal side would never win the Premier League. 

The Spaniard has received further backing this week from Arsenal midfielder Rice, who believes that the young head coach is destined to win it all.

"Don’t judge him now. Judge him at the end of his managerial career when he’s won everything, because he will, I’m sure."

Arteta's squad went into the international break after a 2-2 draw with Sunderland, giving Manchester City a chance to catch up as they beat Liverpool 3-0.

Arsenal must beat Spurs this weekend if they are to maintain their lead at the top of the table. Arteta has never won a league title, and Arsenal have not lifted the Premier League since 2002.

If he does go all the way this year, he will only prove Rice’s point as he begins to dominate football at just 43 years old.
