Unai Emery would be lucky to remain Arsenal boss if the Gunners lose at Leicester, Paul Merson claims.
The Spaniard is under fire after a poor start to the season.
Arsenal are currently fifth in the Premier League, 14 points behind table-toppers Liverpool.
The Gunners have had a rough couple of weeks, drawing at home against Crystal Palace and Wolves, as well as losing on penalties against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.
Fans have demanded Emery is sacked, with ‘Wenger in’ banners seen at Arsenal’s clash against Wolves.
The Gunners travel to Leicester in the Premier League on Saturday and Merson says Emery could be sacked if the Foxes win.
He told Sky Sports: “I read somewhere that Unai Emery was pleased with how Arsenal’s 1-1 draw with Wolves panned out from a tactical perspective.
“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 game 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.”
Arsenal face Leicester in the Premier League’s late kick off on Saturday (5:30pm kick off).
