Arsenal Need To Start Winning Games - Arteta

Mikel Arteta is currently under pressure at the moment given the current position of the club.

The Gunners struggles in the league has continued as they are 15th in the standings, and are five points clear of the relegation zone. 

Mikel Arteta side have struggled to replicate their form of late last season which saw them pick up winnings as they went ahead to clinch the FA Cup and Community Shield.

But this season, the club have struggled for goals and they have been conceding goals at the back. 

Meanwhile, their captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored just three goals, he netted in the Gunners 1-1 draw against Southampton during he mid week a the Emirates.

Arteta whose Arsenal job happens to be his first job since he left his assistance role under Pep Guardiola at Manchester City is desperate for positive result. 

"We have faced one of the most challenging and difficult years in our history. We have made a lot of progress and implemented a lot of things that are working really well," the Spaniard signalled in an interview with Sky Sports. 

"The biggest highlights are the two trophies we won in this period, but at the same time, these last results in the Premier League have taken the gloss off the progress and all the work that we have done. And we know that it is not good enough." 

Arsenal will travel to Goodison Park to face Carlo Ancelotti side this Saturday. The game is expected to kick off at 6:30pm GMT. 

The north London side would be hoping for a positive result as Arteta cannot afford to drop points or they slip into the relegation zone. 

He added: "I have zero doubts what the players are trying to do. We are all united, we are all ready to fight against the cause.

"Things have been difficult, many different circumstances have put us in this situation - the amount of suspensions we are getting, the injuries, some of the chances, and the way we have lost football matches.

"But this is the reality and what you cannot fault is the spirit, the fight, and the togetherness around the team."

Arsenal will be without Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Magalhães due to suspensions. Xhaka was sent off against Burnley while Gabriel who is Arsenal's beat defender at the moment was sent off against Southampton.
