Arsenal’s players need to take matters into their own hands on the pitch and stop relying on Mikel Arteta for guidance if they are to turn around their slump in form, according to Danny Mills.
The Gunners’ hopes of finishing fourth in the Premier League and ending a five-year spell without Champions League football have been seriously dented by a terrible run of form. Arteta’s side have lost their last three league games and four of the last five altogether to hand the impetus to their rivals.
Arsenal are now sixth in the Premier League, three points behind rivals Tottenham and level on points with Manchester United – albeit with a game in hand on both of them. They will be hoping to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat by Southampton on Saturday when they take on Chelsea in their game in hand on Wednesday.
