Unai Emery to try something Arsene Wenger never did at Arsenal

Unai Emery has a plan to maintain momentum after their brilliant start to the season. He intends to try something Arsene Wenger never did during his 22 years in charge of Arsenal. Emery's side lost their opening two games of the Premier League season but since then Arsenal have been unbeatable both in the league and in cup competitions and have climbed to fifth in the table. On Thursday the Gunners take on Qarabag in the Europa League and they will play against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday. According to The Times, Emery will insist the first-team squad to skip Friday's training session so that they can rest up ahead of their game. "It's very important for us in this competition. We are giving each competition our best preparation, our best performance and the travel is long, but it's not an excuse," said Emery. "I had a very different experience, when you play Wednesday or Thursday and then Saturday or Sunday. There are very few days to recover physically and also the mentality of the players to play again in a few hours another match. "In this experience, I won, I lost and I played better in the second match. We are one team with every player with this experience and also with the habit to play, to recover for another match and continue playing. "It's the reason, for me, that I prefer more time to have to recover physically for the players. But for me, it's good and we are OK tomorrow with every player to play. We are going to be also perfect to play against Fulham on Sunday."
