Arsenal's troubled start to the Premier League season could get worse before it gets better as they prepare to host Chelsea this weekend before a trip to champions Manchester City a week later.
Optimism was not sky high amongst Arsenal's followers in the lead-up to the new campaign but the manner of the 2-0 defeat at newcomers Brentford last week has made it open season on manager Mikel Arteta's job prospects, the club's recruitment policy and just where exactly they are heading.
According to the bookmakers, Arteta will not be the man to lead the club into a new era with the Spaniard even money favourite to be the first top-flight manager to be sacked. There are also reports of friction between Arteta and club captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who missed training on Wednesday and is doubtful for Sunday's clash with Chelsea along with fellow forward Alexandre Lacazette.It is all in stark contrast to the mood at Chelsea who will probably hand a second debut to new 97 million pounds striker Romelu Lukaku this weekend.
"The English game is different but, for me, it's not something new. Whatever plan the coach has, I can adapt myself and help the team."
