Emery confident of making top four

First a defeat to Crystal Palace at home, then a humiliating loss to Wolves away and suddenly Arsenal’s top four hopes are in danger.

However, with Chelsea yet to play Manchester United, the Gunners still have some hope according to their boss Unai Emery who is confident of getting a top four spot.

“We are disappointed but we need to remember how we were three months ago,” he told BBC Sport. “We can be optimistic and recover for the top four.

“We knew before the match that it was going to be difficult because all season Wolves are feeling strong. Defensively they are a good team and offensively they have very fast players. Their organisation was very good and to break this was going to be difficult.

“In the first 25 minutes we started very well, controlled the possession but did not have many chances to score.

“We spoke in the dressing room at half-time and we tried to see it as a new match and in the second half we changed our performance and scored a goal.”

“We can be frustrated but the Premier League is about being consistent over 38 matches.”
