Laurent Koscielny hoping for decisive home run

Defender Laurent Koscielny believes Arsenal’s remaining home fixtures will be decisive to their Premier League title hopes.

The Gunners have won all but three of their Emirates Stadium games this season — the opening-day defeat to West Ham, their 1-1 draw with Tottenham in the north London derby and the 0-0 draw with Liverpool.

Koscielny says the team will need to maintain that run and pick up points in their remaining seven away games of the campaign if they are to achieve their aims.
