Mikel Arteta admitted Arsenal’s Premier League match against Norwich on Saturday is a “must-win” game after their worst start to a league season for 67 years.
The Gunners have failed to score and conceded nine goals in demoralising defeats to Brentford, Chelsea and Manchester City.
Arteta’s position as manager is under increasing threat, with the Spaniard reportedly given four more Premier League games to save his job.
Arsenal’s 5-0 humbling by City last month meant they had lost their first three league matches in a season for the first time since the 1954/55 campaign and to make matters worse, rivals Tottenham are top of the table.
The miserable run of results is despite the fact the club were the biggest spenders in the summer transfer window, splashing around £150 million ($207 million) on new faces.
