Unai Emery reveals what Arsenal must do to win the title

Premier League
By Mirror | Oct 23, 2018

Unai Emery has urged his Arsenal players not to get carried away with their form after another impressive win against Leicester.

The Spaniard is in no doubt his side still have some improving to do if they are to challenge the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool for the title, despite 10 victories in a row in all competitions.

Emery's men are one of five teams to have won at least seven of their opening nine Premier League games, a feat previously unmatched in the history of top-flight English football.

They fell a goal down to Ben Chilwell's deflected strike at the Emirates on Monday night, but Mesut Ozil equalised before the break.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's second-half brace, including an incredible team goal to make it 3-1, ensured Arsenal would run out with the three points.

Emery said: "I think we need to continue with the calm, with thinking each match like a big possibility to continue in our way.

"And for us, it’s very important today to win against Leicester because they are behind us, but near, and today I think we are creating a big distance for another team that is behind us.

"And then in front we are looking near other teams like Liverpool, like Manchester City, like Chelsea, but for us it isn’t important for us to think about the end.

"I think we need to think about the next match, against Crystal Palace next Sunday, and also in another competition like the Europa League I think is very important for Thursday.

"And continuing doing our way, improving, and individually and collectively also working on things, tactical things or individual things, to give them, to help them, to find the best performance.

"Like today, but also other players that are injured, other players that are on the bench, we want to continue with them also, help them in the next matches, starting against Sporting on Thursday."
