In the 18 games Arsenal have played this season across all competitions, Unai Emery started the campaign with a 4-2-3-1 attacking formation, followed by a 4-3-3, and then switching to a 4-4-2 diamond, with the latest one being a 3-4-3. This just goes to show that Unai Emery is yet to find his ideal formation and has kept tinkering with his line ups for a while now, which has irked the fans to some extent.

The players have found it difficult to adapt to different formations, and the instructions from the coaching staff seem to be unclear to them. The likes of Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka are not being played in their preferred positions, which has impacted the team heavily as well as their self-confidence. The manager is also yet to find a way to involve both Lacazette and Aubameyang in the starting XI in a way they can both play at their best.

The Gunners have been relentlessly dropping leads, as they have blown four leads in their last four games in all competitions and are without a win for more than a month. Emery will have a chance to improve this form when they travel to King Power Stadium on Saturday.

The Gunners tend to play better when they're underdogs and if Emery gets a result on Saturday, things could be back on track for the Gunners.
