What the managers are saying

Unai Emery (Arsenal):“We need a high level in our performance to win against them.“Defensively we are conceding a lot of goals in each match, but the balance at the moment is positive because our attacking players are creating a lot of chances and we are scoring a lot.“That’s good but we need to take a good balance in the attacking and defensive moments. We have changed to three at the back and sometimes with two or three midfielders. We need to continue improving and looking for the best balance.”David Wagner (Huddersfield): “It is a task [to beat Arsenal], for sure, but we will prepare to do our best. If you like to have a small percentage of a chance it is important that you believe, and that you trust in what you are capable of.3

David Wagner is hoping to keep Huddersfield in the Premier League

“We have to be brave. We had to try and play football in our way, and we will try and pull them down on our level. They are a very strong side, this is why they have this record, and they have improved game by game and week by week.“They play with high intensity, with a good transition and good speed and they are very fluid – everybody works defensively as well.”
