Arsenal football chief Raul Sanllehi is prepared to sack manager Unai Emery in midseason.

There have been conflicting reports about Arsenal's stance on Emery. Some say he's got the job until the end of the campaign. Others have suggested that his head will roll in February, with the busy Christmas and New Year schedules primed to decide his fate.

Sanllehi has backed Emery publicly this week.

However, the Daily Mail says Sanllehi is prepared to pull the trigger - but only should their dire form continue.

But if they pick up some crucial points, then Emery has more chance of seeing out the season.
