Published on November 3, 2019, Arsenal's recent Premier League performance has left fans and critics alike questioning Unai Emery's future at the club.

With the team winless in three of their last matches, losing once and drawing two, the north London club has failed to break into the top four, currently sitting third with 17 points, three behind fourth-placed Leicester.

Emery has been backed by the club with a number of signings in the summer, but many now contend that the team is not making progress under his leadership.
