consistency. The Spaniard said: “First, mostly, the key is in his hand. And he is working very well this week.

“I ask him in our conversations to be consistent, to be available for us in training. When you can train with regularity, consistency, you can help us after in the games.

Arsenal suffered a shock 1-0 defeat in Belarus and have only overturned a first-leg deficit in Europe once in the last 40 years. They will be without suspended striker Alexandre Lacazette but Emery insists BATE BORISOV (4-3-3): things will be different at the Emirates.

He added: “At home we feel strong and we need to impose our strong game plan against them, also with respect and no doubt.”

Arsenal should also welcome back injured pair Sokratis and Aaron Ramsey, though neither is likely to start.

Emery’s side have lost five of their last 10 games in all competitions but he says they are not feeling the pressure, despite him calling an emergency team meeting yesterday to thrash things out.

He said: “I am very demanding but I am not speaking with the players telling them we are playing under pressure.

“We are playing with our big demands because we want to play a match that way, and I am looking for our response against BATE Borisov after this bad result.

“It is a very big opportunity for us and a very big challenge for us.

“I spoke to the players to tell them that we must be in good preparation to do that tomorrow.”
