Unai Emery's job as Arsenal manager is under threat after the team's worst run of results in over 20 years.
With six games without a win, Emery is aware that he needs to improve quickly to avoid being sacked.
The team's poor form has led to an angry backlash from fans, who booed the team off after their 2-2 draw with Southampton at the Emirates on Saturday.
Arsenal now have a crucial run of four games that could decide Emery's fate, including a Europa League match against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday and Premier League games against Norwich, Brighton, and West Ham.
Despite a public show of support from the club's managing director Vinai Venkatesham and head of football Raul Sanllehi two weeks ago, it is now clear that Emery is running out of time.
Emery was facing a make-or-break month before Arsenal's defeat at Leicester, with the board making it clear that they expect a top-four finish this season.
After backing Emery heavily in the transfer market in the summer, the board believes the squad is good enough to make the Champions League but are eight points off the pace and missing out again would also be a huge financial strain.
