Arsenal boss Unai Emery still rates the Premier League as their best chance for Champions League qualification ahead of the Europa League.

Emery is still convinced that Arsenal can finish in the top four but realistically they will have to improve and find some consistency.

He said: “For us, the Premier League is the first competition and we are fighting with Manchester United , with Chelsea in the same position.

“Sunday is a big challenge again against Southampton, here, I want to fight here with our supporters with regularity in every match and with a big performance and on our development and that's why Sunday is very important.

“We are going to play after three days, after also we're going to play Wednesday, so we will need every player. We need every player to be the focus for us, to help us in all of our matches."
