Unai Emery speaks out on Ozil, bottle incident, Ramsey links to PSG

Liverpool and Arsenal meet at Anfield with Jurgen Klopp’s side full of belief that this may finally be their year to win the title. The Reds are six points clear at the Top of the table after an unbeaten first half of the 2018/19, with Manchester City losing their last two games to fuel the Reds’ momentum during the festive fixture schedule. Ahead of the game,  Arsenal boss Unai Emery has spoken out to the press. The latest on Mustafi Mustafi maybe is also close to doing the training with us but today he worked alone with a good feeling and tomorrow is the last training before travelling to Liverpool with the squad and we need to know how the players can be for training tomorrow. Emery on Liverpool A very big match for us and for them, they are unbeaten this season. They are with very big confidence. I look at their progress in the last year and they are maybe in the best moment now. A big challenge at Anfield awaits It’s also a big challenge and also a good test to know how we are. The difference between us and them in the table is clear and I want to look at the pitch. We have one test with them at the Emirates we drew and we played a good match but I think also in Liverpool it’s going to be a different match like we played here. Emery's big motivation ahead of Liverpool trip We know it’s difficult for us, for me it’s a very good test. I have big motivation and also after finishing the first half of the season we are in a good position with the points (38) I think it’s good. Emery on the bottle incident at Brighton I said yesterday my apologies. I kicked the bottle out of frustration but not for the supporters, I kick for me and it went near the supporter and I said to them my apologies. Should an apology be enough? I hope, yes Ozil's reaction to being subbed vs Brighton Sometimes I change Aubameyang, Lacazette, Matteo [Guendouzi] every player it’s happened with. Sometimes the result is good, it’s for improving the result and other times it’s not. The decision is tactical. Will Ozil be involved at Anfield? We can not speak for only one player. For me every player is the same, we can speak about players who I didn’t play a lot; Jenkinson or Lichtsteiner or Mustafi or Kolasinac or Matteo or Mesut or Aubameyang, Lacazette or Nketiah. Emery on Arsenal's defensive record Before yesterday we were second in the table for goals scored but we need to get better in the defensive moments and concede fewer goals and fewer chances for the opposition. Emery on Liverpool emulating Arsenal's unbeaten season At the moment they can do. Emery on Ramsey links to PSG For me the most important thing from every player is the focus. I think it’s not easy for Aaron, but I spoke with him and he played yesterday with a good spirit like I want. I need this focus also from him to help us against Liverpool on Saturday, then to Fulham and then his future is only for him and his agent.
