The Gunners have lost three successive matches - 2-1 to Ostersunds FK in the Europa League and then 3-0 to Manchester City in both the Carabao Cup final and in the Premier League - and have suffered seven defeats in 13 matches so far this year.

They six sixth in the top flight, eight points behind fifth-placed Chelsea and ten points adrift of the top four.
