The frustration is growing at Arsenal.
Trailing Newcastle 2-0 in their EFL Cup semi-final after the first leg and now knocked out of the FA Cup by 10-man Manchester United, it has been a forgettable week for the Gunners.
On Wednesday, Mikel Arteta's men host north London rivals Tottenham in the Premier League, seven points off leaders Liverpool and having played a game more.
Arteta has now been in charge of Arsenal, a club he made more than 100 appearances for as a player, for five years and is the Premier League's third longest-serving manager.
