‘Arsenal can’t afford to give Ljungberg a chance’ – Gunners must be ‘proactive’ like Spurs, says Hartson

A former fan favourite is set to take in a third game at the helm on Monday when the short trip to the London Stadium is made for a derby date with West Ham.

Arsenal head into that contest on their worst run of form for 42 years, with Unai Emery having already paid the price for ongoing struggles at Emirates Stadium.
