Arsenal's women have played four WSL matches at the Emirates this season. They've won precisely none of them. That's not a typo.
Renee Slegers' squad have dominated possession, peppered opponents with shots, and generally looked the part - except when it comes to actually putting the ball in the net. Shooting accuracy and conversion rates have been, to put it politely, underwhelming.
Opponents have noticed. Nikita Parris has openly stated that visiting teams no longer view the Emirates as a fortress. Where sides once turned up hoping to limit the damage, they now arrive expecting to nick points.
That's a brutal shift in perception - and one Slegers herself has acknowledged. She concedes that rival clubs have grown in confidence against her side, though she insists Arsenal still command respect, as Sky Sports reports.
Up next? London City Lionesses. It's a match Arsenal simply cannot afford to drop. Victory would keep top-three hopes alive. Defeat would leave a gap that starts looking uncomfortable.
Captain Kim Little hasn't shied away from the issue. She's stressed that the squad must convert home advantage into actual results - turning those frustrating draws into wins. The crowd is there. The support is there. The finishing? Not so much.
Arsenal have shown resilience in patches, but patches won't cut it. Friday's fixture feels like a make-or-break moment for their season.
