Emery looking ahead despite winning run

Since defeats in their opening two league fixtures against Manchester City and Chelsea, the 'Gunners' have won every game across all competitions, a run they have not achieved since 2015 under Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal currently sit fifth in the table, four points off leaders City, and a win against Fulham on Sunday could close the gap. 

Emery insisted he is only looking ahead, saying: "Usually I don't look behind, every day I'm looking at the next matches - what's in front.

"For me, whether we win or lose, every match is giving me a lot of information about how to improve. Every coach wants to win, but it's not easy to do that.

"For me the challenge is every day and every match - to look back to the last match is not good for us and not for me.

"My only focus is on Sunday against Fulham, to get three points to continue going up in the table.

"The first six teams are playing each season a lot of matches in the Premier League, the cups and Europe.

"Every team wants to do the best performance in the Premier League because it's the first competition for us and also in the cups and Europe.

"The top players want to play a lot of matches. I have experience too because I'm playing in Europe for the 12th consecutive season, six in the Champions League and six in the Europa League so my habit is also this.

"We are going to balance each matches physically with the players but these player are prepared to play Thursday and Sunday and then we have players to make changes for some matches. But if I decide to play a someone for three matches in a week, they are available to do that."
