Ranieri: "I think Arteta has built a very good Arsenal team,"

Watford's visit to the Emirates on Sunday will be Arteta's 100th game in charge of the Gunners and Ranieri, who will be going into his 1,198th match as a manager, has been impressed with the team that the Spaniard has built.

"I think he (Arteta) has built a very good team," said Ranieri. "They're playing very well.

"They play very direct football, but when they have the time to start a counterattack it is fantastic to watch, it is very fast.

"They play fantastic football. Well done to Arteta for that."
