Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says returning to Everton is always special.

The former Blues midfielder takes the Gunners to Goodison Park today seeking a first win in six years.

I'm really excited about it obviously," he said in his pre-match press conference at London Colney.

Obviously our record speaks for itself. In the last six years we haven't won there, so we're going to have to earn it and we know that we're going to have to be at our best to beat them there and it's something that we haven't managed to do, so that's where we're going to start.

Obviously I have a big emotional attachment to that football club, the way they treated me and the years that I spent there. The incredible memories that I have, so I'm always grateful.

It was a big, big part of my playing career, and now as a coach I have to play against them and obviously I want to beat them."
