The Gunners lost five of those seven matches and dropped to 15th place, and also dropped out of the League Cup tournament against Manchester City after a 1-4 home loss on Tuesday.

Arteta also blamed the `bad luck` for the team`s results, after which Arsenal came close to four points from the relegation zone. `We try to answer every week, but for various reasons we don`t get results. We had to win against Burnley, against Southampton, against Everton. We have to turn things around. This bad luck about our results has to change drastically, because that`s the way it is. it`s very difficult to win matches in the Premier League, `said Arteta.
Pierre-Emerick striker Aubameyang is in question for the match due to a calf injury, and winger Gabriel Martinelli is also injured. From 19:30 today Arsenal welcomes Chelsea in one of the most interesting matches for Boxing Day.
