Unai Emery (Arsenal):“The focus is to analyse this [Tottenham] match and for Saturday, it is a very important match. Tomorrow we are going to train with every player.“I am thinking about the match on Saturday and not thinking about another situation.

Sean Dyche (Burnley):It will be interesting to see, new manager, new thinking, just their first loss in a long time on Sunday, so that may give them the first chance to just question things, but theyre still a top side.They were a top side under Arsene Wenger, with some great players, and they still are.The format has changed slightly, but the ethos is still there behind their tactical format, they look to pass first, play with energy, be aggressive with their passing, as in through the lines, and play forward, so theyre still a very good side.
