Unai Emery Explains How Arsenal Can Beat Man Utd in Premier League Showdown

​Unai Emery has admitted that Arsenal will need to deliver 'a very big performance' if they are to overcome an in-form Manchester United side in a huge Premier League clash on Sunday.

The old rivals meet at the Emirates on the back of a very different week for each side. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side overcame the odds to advance past Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, while the Gunners slipped to a shock 3-1 defeat away to Rennes in the Europa League.

​United are in particularly fine away form, having won their last nine games on the road, including their victory over ​Arsenal in the FA Cup in January. That form stands the Red Devils in good stead heading into Sunday's game.


Speaking as quoted by ​ITV, Emery said: "They are in a very good moment but we are together in the table.

"We played against them one month ago in the FA Cup, we lost 3-1 but I remember we did very good things, created chances.

"We know Sunday is a tough match and it is for everybody an amazing match with very good players and we are going to play at home with our supporters.

"We need to have a very big performance from each player and tactically like a team but I am looking forward also to playing against a team like Manchester United and how they are in this moment with each player - very big confidence after the PSG match.

"But with our supporters, I want to create a big atmosphere, a positive atmosphere for us and help us to give us the best and strongest support for the match."

With United currently fourth and just a point clear of Arsenal in the league table, the result of Sunday's game could potentially be decisive in the race for the top four.
