Unai Emery hints who will start against Huddersfield Town: Press Conference

Arsenal are aiming to bounce back from their defeat to Manchester City as they visit Huddersfield Town on Saturday. Ahead of the game Arsenal boss Unai Emery confirmed, both Maitland Niles and Henrikh Mkhitaryan should be available for selection. While Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Laurent Koscielny have had a bout of illness but are expected to travel. Some nice words from the Arsenal boss on his outgoing director of football Sven Mislintat. My relationship with him is good. He has a very good scout responsibility for his past and present. I worked well with him. I wish good luck for him in his future. The Spaniard talking nothing for granted about Huddersfield It will be difficult. Each match is difficult and they are going to play for the possibility of continuing in the Premier League. Their last result was not good but with their new coach, I’m sure on Saturday they’ll play with big ambition and performance. They have good players, good organisation. They push a lot. I know it’s difficult. Away each match is a new challenge but it’s also a very big opportunity to take the three points and continue in our way better than we’re doing now away. Emery expect Huddersfield to come at Arsenal Their organisation is thinking to go against the opposition. They’re going to do high pressing, they’ll build-up with good organisation to break outlines. They’re not going to be deep defensively, they’re going to push and do a lot of duels on the pitch going against us. We’re working on that and we also need to improve how we can do better away, how we can do better playing against teams that are pushing a lot and pressing high. Emery on Mkhitaryan and Maitland-Niles We thought first, last week, after six weeks being injured, it was not enough [for Mkhitaryan] to play against Manchester City. But after this week, playing first with the U23s and then working with us, it’s the first time I can think with him being us. [Maitland-Niles] stopped for 10 days but physically I think he’s ok. He’s working well with us today. He can be with us, also on Saturday. Will Denis Suarez Start? His adaptation to us and also on Sunday in 25 minutes, in the first days with us, is not with good performance. This week he worked Monday alone here with our coaches and also yesterday and today he’s working with a different adaptation, better than last week. I hope he’s continuing to improve every day. Then he can show in the next matches how he can help us, better than in the first match against Manchester City. Emery on Arsenal's away struggles My first criticism is myself. I work over anything other criticism can do to me, the work in the present and future can change our way. Then it’s how we are doing away, at home. We are with the possibility and opportunity to take the top four but we know it’s not easy. One month ago we were in the same situation but it’s not easy. We are strong at home, we need to do better away. We started very well away, changing our mentality to get more points. But now we need to recover this confidence, this performance. The next opportunity is Saturday against Huddersfield. We know defensively we need to do better. It’s for all. We try to play with three, with two centre-backs. We won with three, we won with two.It’s work, continuing in our way, be patient sometimes, be calm, but above all work.
