Arsenal boss Unai Emery insist his team are playing to his specific pattern of play.

The Emirates boss denied that his team, who have let in 32 Premier League goals ­already this season, lack an identity, despite switching ­between defensive systems in recent games.

Emery said: “Tactically we are using different systems but this is enriching for us, to have the capacity to use different systems. The players are doing well.

“Our best performances can come with different systems. It depends on the opposition and on our players. We win with different systems, we work with different systems. The best possibility when we can't control a match like we want is to sometimes use three centre-backs. We are seeking balance in defensive and offensive moments.

"At other moments we need to play with full-backs, because we need to control a different situation."
