Arsenal vs Burnley: Emery speaks on playing David Luiz, Pepe, others in EPL clash

Arsenal manager, Unai Emery has disclosed that the club’s new signings, David Luiz, Nicolas Pepe, Dani Ceballos and Gabriel Martinelli are in contention to feature against Burnley in the Premier League this weekend.

Arsenal will take on Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners head to the game after defeating Newcastle United 1-0 last weekend.

Asked if the club’s new signings, Luiz, Pepe, Ceballos and Martinelli are ready to play against Burnley, Emery was quoted by Metro UK as saying in his pre-match press conference on Thursday: “Each player is different. After Newcastle and this week, the players are working well.

“We can decide to choose different options in each position. Really I think we need to be competitive.

“We need different options to decide who is better each match is. If I have some doubt, it’s good, because it’s positive and after we are going to decide, it’s depends on training tomorrow.

“But the new players, the players who were with us last year, the young players, we can achieve our way each match with confidence in them.”

Emery added: “I am going to decide tomorrow because now is a small difference for my decision about the player.

“It depends how they will be tomorrow in the training. But Pepe is training with us, is improving with us, is knowing us.

“He’s understanding our style little by little, understanding better with his teammates and physically also getting better. He is more close to help us at the beginning [of the match], or giving impact during the match.”
