Former England coach Sam Allardyce has praised Mikel Arteta for his defensive work at Arsenal.
Big Sam has been impressed by the defensive organisation the Spaniard has brought to the Emirates as he hunts the club's first top-four finish in five years.
Allardyce told Ladbrokes: "Arsenal are a good young team who seem to be improving all the time."
"Mikel Arteta has faced so many challenges in such a short time as a manager, and he's dealt with them head-on. He's decided that he's going to be strong, which you have to admire; I certainly admire him for that.
"He's had a lot of big, senior players who haven't been pulling their weight, and personally I think he's dealt with those situations very well."
