ESPN FC's Craig Burley details the expectations for new managers Maurizio Sarri and Unai Emery ahead of Chelsea and Arsenal's match this weekend.
Arsenal's Unai Emery insists that he has confidence in both Bernd Leno and Petr Cech and their abilities to play out from the back.
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has called for Mesut Ozil to rise above the criticism following a difficult summer for the German playmaker.
Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright believes Unai Emery needs two years at Arsenal to bring his own players to the club before being judged.
Hector Bellerin's last gasp goal would seal a 2-2 draw for Arsenal against Chelsea in their last meeting back in January.
Lucas Torreira could get his first Arsenal start against Chelsea on Saturday, with head coach Unai Emery saying the Uruguay midfielder has settled in well at his new club.
Torreira came on as a late substitute in the 2-0 loss to Manchester City on Sunday but gave the team an immediate injection of energy in midfield.
Having joined up with the team later than most of his new teammates due to the World Cup, Emery said Torreira is now ready for a starting role.
"Yes, he is OK every day and is training good. He is now with the team and knowing and learning English conversation with us and can understand all the things we want to do tactically on the pitch," Emery said. "The first match against City he played 15-20 minutes and I think this is good, I want to continue with him improving and to be OK to play."
If Torreira starts, Emery would have to choose whether fellow new signing Matteo Guendouzi or the more experienced Granit Xhaka should give way for the Uruguayan.
Torreira is a more natural defensive midfielder than either, and should add some much-needed protection to the back four.
Emery could also opt to bench both Xhaka and Guendouzi and play Torreira together with Aaron Ramsey if he chooses to use a 4-2-3-1 formation instead of the 4-3-3 he deployed against City.
"This possibility to play with two or three midfielders, it depends on each match whether to change or not and the demand in each match whether we can do one midfielder more, either more attacking or more defensive, it depends," Emery said.
