Arsenal are loving life in the Premier League right now, but they must keep it up if they are to remain in the top four.
Arsenal come up against Leicester City on Monday night, and having had plenty of time to reflect during the international break, Unai Emery will be looking for all three points. Here are five things Arsenal must do to in order to achieve this…
1. Don’t look down (or up)
I think it goes without saying that Arsenal haven’t been the best under pressure in the Premier League in recent years. They do find themselves getting too caught up in the midst of becoming too worried by their league position, which is why the good positions never last.
They find themselves in the top four currently, and while it’s not always been the case, this is a promising position for the Gunners. This is where they will look to be come the end of the season, with many rival fans not giving Emery a chance.
I’m certain that he would have been given a list of objectives, but qualifying for the Champions League will be his main aim. He has said many times that he would like to return Arsenal to their glory days.
They’re only two points from the top of the table. So technically, if things do go their way, they could even top the table this weekend. It’s highly unlikely, so don’t get your hopes up. But my point is, they need to just look at this as another game, not a make or break match. Pressure is never good in these situations.
