LONDON (Reuters) - Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta hopes club great Patrick Vieira receives a warm reception from the home fans when the Frenchman visits the Emirates Stadium for the first time since taking over at Premier League rivals Crystal Palace.

Vieira captained Arsenal to three league titles and four FA Cup triumphs as a player, famously leading the 'Invincibles' who went a full Premier League campaign unbeaten in 2003-04 before ending his nine-year spell with the club the following year.
