It's a BIG night for Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger matches Sir Alex Ferguson's Premier League record of 810 games as manager this evening having outlasted a number of touchline rivals in the capital.



Since taking charge of Arsenal on October 1, 1996, Wenger has overseen 467 wins, 145 defeats, 1,521 goals scored, three league titles and seven FA Cups.



In the same time, long-time north London rivals Tottenham have won just two League Cups and finished above the Gunners just once in the league, last season, as a number of Spurs managers have been hired and fired.

Of 51 north London derbies, Wenger has lost just eight times and only one of his first 27.



Chelsea have fared better during Wenger's time in London, with 14 different managers but far more trophies.



In total, Wenger has seen Chelsea win five of their six league titles, six of their seven FA Cups and three of their four European cups including both the Champions League and Europa League.



Ruud Gullit was Wenger's first Chelsea counterpart, before Gianluca Vialli in a player-manager role and then Claudio Ranieri before fierce rival Jose Mourinho first arrived in 2004.

Wenger won his first four games against Chelsea and went 17 games unbeaten against them between 1999 and 2004, but has seen the Blues become the more successive London side during his tenure.



However, most recently, Wenger has triumphed on just four of the last 16 meetings between the two teams.



Rather surprisingly, West Ham have had just 15 permanent managers during their existence and Wenger has face 10 of them from Harry Redknapp to, most recently, David Moyes.



It's a different story over at Crystal Palace were Wenger has outlasted over 20 different Eagles managers, starting with Dave Bassett and facing their most recent appointing, Roy Hodgson, this evening.
