Arsenal's Mikel Arteta can't afford a loss to Chelsea FC

Things simply are not great for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal right now. After the team lost to Brentford 2-0 to open the season, people were calling for the Gunners to fire Arteta, as the team continues to play poorly.
Next up is a home match against Chelsea FC in the first big London Derby of the season. Plain and simple, Arteta needs to do everything in his power to get a win. Otherwise, he could be on his way out.
Mikel Arteta says he was surprised Arsenal's Premier League game against Brentford was not postponed after several members of his squad tested positive for coronavirus.

The fanbase is growing increasingly frustrated with the manager. After not finishing in the Top 4, Arsenal is missing out on the Champions League again. That's unacceptable and things are on Arteta here.
