Wednesday’s pivotal Premier League match between Arsenal and Manchester City could hardly be more ill-timed for the North London side who are winless in consecutive league games for the first time this season.
Arsenal are looking to win the league title for the first time in 19 years, yet approaching a game at the Emirates that has such big implications in the midst of their current slump will be undesirable for manager Mikel Arteta.
A rare saving grace for the Gunners may be seen in January signing Leandro Trossard’s impressive performance as the second-half substitute provided a much needed goal — a performance that could settle any nerves Arteta may have had about his side's issues in the final third. The Manchester club entered the game off the back of a week dominated by news of them facing more than 100 charges of alleged financial misconduct by the Premier League, yet their on-pitch exploits were unbowed.
Losses to Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in their five matches leading up to Sunday’s victory had blotted their record.
