Arsenal boss Arteta: Does Pep stand alongside Ferguson and Wenger?

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is unsure about where Pep Guardiola stands amongst the Premier League's managerial greats.

Arsenal meet Guardiola's Manchester City at high noon today.

Asked about Guardiola's status, Arteta said: "I don't know, obviously the longevity of Sir Alex and Arsene is incredible what they've done. I think Pep has brought a lot of new things, a lot of different ways of playing and I think what he's added to this country is exceptional and he's going to go into the history of the Premier League for sure."

On Guardiola's future in the Premier League, he added: "I don't know. It's his fifth season. Obviously, he's there at the club that he's been at the longest. I think he's loving it there. I think he's got the right support. He's winning trophies. He's building what he wants. He wanted to have experience in this league and I think he's extremely happy right now."
