...TEAM NEWS

We will train tomorrow, today we recover with some players, we did compensation work. Lenglet and Cash are training today with the group. We’ll work tomorrow again and see how they will feel to get a decision about the team and the players to be available for Sunday.

...ABOUT THE MATCH

We’ve conceded some chances we have to try to avoid. It’s tactically, being stronger defensively and when we are in control of the game as well, try to keep the ball position better. We played at home here at Villa Park in December compared to the match we are going to play on Sunday. Something similar because there’s a lot of players again playing, fighting in those teams. But different because we’re playing at the Emirates, we’re playing as well in a different context, now they are fighting for the Premier League trophy. We’re fighting behind them trying to keep our fifth position we have now and fighting with Tottenham. Different as well because some players, of course, being injured are not going to play on Sunday.

...CONSISTENCY

To be consistent across 38 matches and to focus. To be demanding and always focusing on each match with the same mentality. The only way I know about developing is through mentality. The team are getting better in this area.

…INJURY REPORT

Cole Palmer is fit to return, Reece James and Levi Colwill are getting close but still not ready, while Raheem Sterling has suffered a lower back problem and Carney Chukwuemeka has an issue with his knee.

…ENZO FERNANDEZ

In the moment he feels the pain and he feels the limitation because of the problem. Most important thing is to fix the problem for him. If he feels not well and can't perform because of that then it is not good for him, the team or the club.

…LEADER NEEDED

Lack of belief sometimes happens with circumstances. The disappointment of Manchester City and trying to recover to then face a team playing for the title. The circumstances were all negative for the team and that is why we suffered. That can happen in any team. It is possible you can suffer this type of result with experience or without, with leaders or no leaders, with character or no character. In football that can happen and even more in the Premier League.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

We realise how we need to behave when the game is tough and demands are high. We need to be more strong and really trust in the way we play and the philosophy. It is true after the game we can't blame the players. The circumstances are not helping us, but tomorrow we need to believe we can win again.
