Arsenal take on Leicester City on Sunday in the Premier League and a lot rests on this Unai Emery.
At one point in time, it was almost certain that the Gunners would be able to finish in the top four of the Premier League but a lot of happened since then.
A shock 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace and then a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Wolves on Wednesday means, Arsenal’s hopes of playing in the Champions League is hanging by a thread.
And according to pundit Paul Merson, the North London club will suffer their third defeat in a row at the King Power Stadium on Sunday.
“I just don’t know with Arsenal,” Merson said.
“They go to Napoli, keep a clean sheet against the second-best team in Italy, and then let in six goals in two league games.
“You’re watching it and thinking what’s changed? It’s so up and down.
“Sometimes you look at it and think the manager does an unbelievable job to get them where they are, but then you look at him playing [Mesut] Ozil and [Henrikh] Mkhitaryan in midfield for Wolves away, which he did at Everton too where they never looked like winning, but the penny didn’t drop.
“I’ve got to go for Leicester though. [Jamie] Vardy will be too much for the Arsenal defence, they’ve got pace.
“Look at Leicester since Brendan has gone there, they find it hard to break teams down. But when teams like Arsenal come in who are going to have a go, they’re a dangerous animal.
“Very dangerous. Arsenal have half an eye on next Thursday as well which doesn’t help.”
