Arsenal legend Ian Wright claims major part of the teams is ‘not working’ but knows what will fix it

ARSENAL legend Ian Wright has identified a major part of the Gunners that is “not working” – but says he knows the fix.

The London club are top of the league but are experienced the biggest wobble of their season last month.

Defeats to Everton and Manchester City and a controversial draw against Brentford saw fans begin to worry that the season was unravelling.

But wins against Aston Villa and Leicester has revived hopes that Arsenal are still in charge of the title race.

Wright believes the club still has an issue on the left of the pitch that was sparked by Gabriel Jesus’ injury.

He said on Premier League Productions: “Arsenal are straining every sinew right now to stay in front [of Manchester City].

“Yes, we have Jesus coming back which will then hopefully fire up [Gabriel] Martinelli even more because our left-hand side has missed Jesus.

“Jesus would interchange with Martinelli, and he would get inside and we would get a little bit more going on our left side.

“That has been a bit redundant even though Martinelli has scored some goals, he’s had to come off the bench to do that. It feels like a whole side of Arsenal is not working.

“And once that comes back maybe we could start scoring more goals again and getting those goals and chances that we need to score, just to give us a bit more breathing space in the game because I don’t think from now on in Man City are going to relent.”

Martinelli experienced a dry patch of form where he went eight games without a goal earlier this year.

But he has turned things around with goals at Villa and Leicester.

Eddie Nketiah has been filling in for Jesus and was initially in hot form with five goals in six games, including a crucial winner against Manchester United.

But he has not scored in any of his last six games.

The 23-year-old will be looking to break his duck in tonight’s crucial clash with Everton.
