Arsenal will host Chelsea in the Premier League this weekend and with that, the Gunners have a lot to prove.
Despite putting a superb performance during the first half of the season, Unai Emery and his boys still have a lot of work to do.
A win for Chelsea would mean that the Blues would extend their points gap with Arsenal to nine points and the Gunners will be desperately trying to avoid such a scenario.
And speaking before the match, Unai Emery has claimed that his team will be trying to prove to the Arsenal fans that they can do much better as compared to the current scenario.
“I think Saturday is a big test and our first objective is to be in the top four,” Emery told his pre-game press conference.
“It’s more difficult after our defeat against West Ham but we can take positives, like if we win on Saturday. It’s a good test and challenge.
“A win will take us closer to them. This will take us one step closer to our objective and this is the test. Over 38 matches some are small finals and Saturday for us is a small final.”
On what he wants to see from his squad, Emery went on: “The victory, firstly. Victory first but I think we are doing two different performances, at home and away. We want to find a balance between the two moments.
“First, we are going to go game-by-game and Saturday we are at home and I think we are doing very big matches with big confidence with our supporters and I want the same spirit and the same performance on Saturday against Chelsea.
“It’s a difficult, tough match and I think it’s a good test for us also. We wanted to go into this match with three points difference in the table, but our defeat at West Ham doesn’t give us this possibility.
“But Saturday, I am looking forward to playing this match because I want to look at my team, our team, playing with a good performance and also to show our supporters we can do more and we can do better than we are doing away.”
