WHO IS SAYING WHAT?
Arsenal boss Unai Emery:
"I think the difficulty now is to not relax.
"After winning six games in the Premier League, we need to continue to be demanding in each match and think about the next match as the most important.
"If we are remembering the last match at the Emirates (against Watford), we won but not playing like we want, with the control against the opposition.
"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."
Leicester boss Claude Puel on the in-form Alexandre Lacazette:
"He is a complete player with good transition with the ball and without the ball. He is always available for the team.
"He works all the time and he has kept his clinical edge and I am not surprised about his quality and his good work with Arsenal.
"He started with me. His first game at the beginning he was always a striker but to find a place and get game time in the team he started as a winger.
"He had always the same quality and was clinical in the box. He improves on his transition without the ball because at the beginning of his career his only focus was to score and not to work for the team.
"We developed him like a striker because he had all the ability to play in this position, but to start in the first division in France it was important to play him for his development and we had a lot of strikers, experienced players with quality, so to give him game time we played him as a winger."
