Speculations surrounding Unai Emery’s future at Arsenal have grown exponentially in recent weeks.

Arsenal are now seven games without a win in all competitions (their worst run since 1992). The Gunners board has been supportive of Unai Emery since the start of the season. However, their patience and support has apparently reached its limits after Arsenal's latest loss. Reports suggest that the senior figures at the club will be discussing Emery's future on Friday with an imminent decision expected. Freddie Ljungberg, Emery's current assistant, is a favourite to take over on an interim basis. He'll be filling Emery's boots till Arsenal find a suitable replacement.
