Arsenal legend Ian Wright believes the club should back under fire manager Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners are experiencing a miserable Premier League campaign, sitting in 15th position after 14 matches.
They have only managed five points from the past 30 available, and are closer to the relegation zone than a European spot.
They lost 2-1 to Everton on Saturday.
"I think they've come out and backed him – and rightly so, he's a good coach – and they're going to have to have to do something for him in January," the former Gunners striker said on DAZN.
"I think with the current players he's got – I'm not saying Arsenal are going to go down, of course I'm not saying that – if you can't arrest that slide, you will get dragged in.
"And then you're going to be under real pressure to get yourselves out of it, then people have to perform to a certain level to get yourselves out of it.
"Because other teams can smell that blood and they will go for you, it's a very ruthless league."
