Arteta's Arsenal will be desperate to shed their tag as the side that has come up short in recent years. In that same period, Arteta's managerial mentor Guardiola has a trophy haul of the Champions League, four Premier League titles, the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, as well as the Uefa Super Cup and Fifa Club World Cup. Former Arsenal and England defender Matt Upson told BBC Sport: "I think overall, Arteta needs it most because he has not won enough trophies in his time at Arsenal for how well they have done. "I think Arteta and Guardiola need it for very different reasons, but I feel Arteta needs it more because he needs to put some silverware in the trophy cabinet. "The overall pressure is on Arteta, but it is also fair to say the short-term pressure is on Guardiola.
