TEMPO.CO, London - Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright claimed that the Gunners were too reliant on Alexis Sanchez.
Sanchez has scored 12 goals in 19 games for the Gunners since he joined the club in the summer, but a disappointing start to the season has made Arsene Wenger's squad slides down to eighth place in the Premier League standings.
Arsenal's hopes of finishing in the top four shrunk again on Saturday following a 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United.
"If it wasn't for Sanchez, where would they be now? They are mid-table without Alexis Sanchez. I can't see Arsenal getting in the top four at the moment," Wright said.
Arsenal will be back in the Champions League action on Wednesday when they welcome Borussia Dortmund at the Emirates Stadium, Sportsmole reported.
