**Emery's future has been under speculation in recent weeks**

Unai Emery insists he retains the backing of the Arsenal board following the 2-0 defeat to Leicester .

The Gunners have slipped to sixth in the Premier League and are now nine points behind Leicester, who have climbed to second.

Arsenal have won just one of their last six league matches with the pressure increasing on boss Emery.

Technical director Edu and Head of Football Raul Sanllehi were both in the stands at the King Power and watched on glumly as Arsenal fell to defeat.

But speaking afterwards, Emery insisted he doesn't fear for his job and still needs and deserves time.

"We are going to achieve. We have had a lot of circumstances that haven't helped but with consistency, we can do it."

Asked if he will get the time from the board, Emery added: "The most important thing is to be calm but step up in our intensity and our work.

“I know we are receiving criticism but I have done before and I have recovered.
