Arsenal boss Emery wary facing 'very good' Vardy

Arsenal boss Unai Emery admits he's an admirer of Jamie Vardy.

The Gunners will meet Vardy and Leicester City on Monday night.

And Emery says: "He's a very good player. He has talent, his speed [helps] for the counter-press.

"On Monday we will not want to give him possibilities to continue scoring against us."

The manager also said: "We need to continue working calmly in our bodies and our mentality. Our target now is the same as in the first matches. The first two matches we lost, against Manchester City and Chelsea.

"But after six matches winning in the Premier League, it hasn't changed. [We need] this calm because we [beat] a lot of opposition teams with very [poor] performances. We need to stay with the best teams in the Premier League. To stay with them, we need to do better and get better at different things."
