‘If we want to be in the top four, we have to win this game.
‘There are more players who can play left centre-half. What helps is Luke Shaw is back. Now we have our options we can look game to game.

Unai Emery’s thoughts ahead of the game this afternoon…
My concern and analysis of them is trying to understand their gameplan and to understand their qualities, collectively and individually. We have to try to stop them, starting with the goalkeeper because his build up is fantastic.
Their centre-backs like to play, building up and controlling ball possession, trying to get good combinations on the pitch. Luke Shaw is very dangerous and Diogo Dalot is in a good moment.
Casemiro is a very important player for them; they have very good wingers and strikers and that is my concern. The most important thing for me, individually and collectively, as a coach is to prepare trying to stop them.
