Arsenal are looking for a second win at Emirates tonight against Leeds United in FA Cup tie, all thanks to their new manager Mikel Arteta.
Since being appointed two weeks ago, Arsenal have frustratingly held goalless against Everton, a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth and a 2-1 home defeat to London rivals, Chelsea.
It’s like Arsenal is going in endless loop of winless run, even if they changed their manager.
They have not won at home since beating Bournemouth 2-0 back in October, which was three months ago.
The only to stop it is to win again, and Arteta made Arsenal win again by beating Manchester United at home.
It was such a sweet victory and Arteta believes he has made quite a huge difference to the squad, compared to the approach from previous manager Unai Emery.
“We have three analysts here that look a lot at the opposition,” Arteta said. “I do it myself as well, I like my assistants to look at it.
“But at the moment I’m focusing much more on our principles, our way of playing, the way that we want to play rather than the opponent.
“I don’t want to give them too much information about them and us, we don’t have much time to train.”
It might still be too early to predict if Arteta could lift Arsenal into qualifying to the Champions League, but he could be the beginning of a new hope.
