Emery on injury issues, the possibility of a goal fest and how he plans to stop Liverpool

Two of the top four in the Premier League will face off on Saturday evening when Arsenal welcome Liverpool at the Emirates. Just two places and four points separate the two teams going into the weekend, with both enjoying impressive unbeaten streaks, which they will be putting on the line. Ahead of the game, Arsenal boss Unai Emery has faced the press. Emery on facing Liverpool We’re excited for tomorrow but it’s a difficult game. They have signed a lot of players. They are a good, big example of how you can improve. Fitness updates at full-back We are playing a lot and injuries are normal. We will wait for the full-back. We will see if a player can make it for tomorrow. Arsenal's record against the top six We want to write a new history. The new history is in the present and also, with our players, our quality and our capacity, I believe in my players and this project. We are starting this project in a very positive way with what we are doing. Mentality is good We are in our mind that we also need to improve things but each match they are giving us a lot of information for improvement and development and I trust in my players. Playing against Liverpool Each match is a very important match. The most important is tomorrow. It’s a very big test because it’s against Liverpool. They are a very good team, an intense team, and they require a lot of work for us to battle them but I believe in our team and our players. We are also going to play our way. Plenty of goals promised They say there are a lot of goals in past matches between Arsenal and Liverpool. The most important thing for us is that every supporter enjoys the match but we want to enjoy winning! Alisson key for Liverpool We need to stop them from doing their jobs in the 90 minutes. They have individual players and also are a collective. They are developing moves with the goalkeeper because they build up through Alisson, the centre-backs and the midfield players. They can progress up the pitch with a lot of quality starting with Alisson. We need a big match in the individual duels against them and also tactically we need to be together and play with our identity and style that we need to impose on them. It’s difficult for 90 minutes but in moments we need to impose our ideas in a duel of 90 minutes. Lessons learned from Manchester City and Chelsea losses These two matches are so far and also so close. Tomorrow is similar because Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool are in front of us in the table and now we want to compete against them and this test is very important but I trust in our players. I trust in our way. The result tomorrow is important but first I want to show everyone our best minds in the game. I know if we have a very big mentality in the game and a big performance and also some luck we can win.
