Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says the club is currently going through their worst EVER crisis.

The Gunners sit 15th on the Premier League table and meet Manchester City in the Carabao Cup tonight.

“Ken Friar, the club President, has been here longer than anybody - 70 years," he said.

“He told me, 'Mikel, it is not one of the more challenging years in Arsenal's history - believe me, I've been here 70 years - it is the most challenging and difficult year in Arsenal's history'.

“The results now in the Premier League are taking a gloss off what we've done for sure, and we have to accept them because there is now a negativity around the team. We cannot deny that."
