How do Arsenal rediscover the 'fear factor' at the Emirates?

Arsenal Women have failed to win any of their four WSL home games this season, losing their feared home advantage as opponents increasingly believe they can get results at the Emirates.

Arsenal Women are in crisis at the Emirates Stadium. After four Women's Super League home games without a win, the Gunners have lost the psychological edge that once made their 60,000-seater stadium one of the most intimidating places in the WSL.

The slump has cut Arsenal adrift from the title race and opened the door for other teams. Nikita Parris told Sky Sports that opposition sides now see opportunities to counter-attack and score, whereas previously Arsenal would "suffocate" teams.

Head coach Renee Slegers acknowledged the tactical problem: opposition teams have built belief by seeing one team succeed with a deep defensive setup, and Arsenal have failed to adapt.

Arsenal captain Kim Little insisted the home fortress hasn't disappeared overnight and that the club is capable of reclaiming it. The Gunners face a crucial test this Sunday against London City Lionesses, live on Sky Sports at 4.30pm. A win would keep Arsenal in the Champions League race; defeat would open a nine-point gap that would be extremely difficult to close in a 26-game season.

Arsenal showed resilience this week by beating Liverpool and drawing at Barcelona, but must now translate that away form into a first home win of the season.
