Arsenal legend Paul Merson has insisted that Unai Emery's job will be on the line if they lost to Leicester City this weekend.
The Gunners travel to the King Power Stadium to take on the Foxes who lead them by six points in the Premier League table.
Back-to-back draws, from winning positions at home, have seriously dented Arsenal's hopes of a top-four finish, which has heaped the pressure on Unai Emery.
After the summer's spending, which saw over £100m spent on the squad, many were expecting Arsenal to earn themselves Champions League football this season.
However, the form of Leicester and Chelsea, combined with the Gunners' poor form has left them in a situation where a defeat to Leicester on Saturday evening could leave them nine points adrift of their rivals.
The form book is against Arsenal, with Leicester winning their last two matches by an aggregate score of 11-0.
Should that happen, Merson believes that Emery will fear for his job, with a two-week international break to follow after the game.
"I read somewhere that Unai Emery was pleased with how Arsenal's 1-1 draw with Wolves panned out from a tactical perspective," the ex-Arsenal midfielder told Sky Sports.
"If letting Wolves have 24 shots on goal was what he wanted, then yes, it went to plan.
"But when you consider that was the most shots Arsenal have faced in a Premier League game since moving to the Emirates, I doubt whether that was his intention. That came after Arsenal conceded 31 shots away at Watford, who are rock bottom of the Premier League. That is some doing.
"Emery is struggling and with a trip to Leicester on Saturday, he will do well to keep hold of his job if that goes against him. The gap is already six points to fourth place and Arsenal are in a situation where they can realistically only afford to lose two more games this season to keep pace with the teams ahead of them.
"And, to make matters worse, the fans are turning, they are booing, making decisions and chanting 'you don't know what you're doing'. That's not good, especially ahead of the two-week international break, a break in which Emery's position will be under threat if they fall to the Foxes."
