Unai Emery expects to see his side at their best when they entertain Rennes on Thursday night in a crunch Europa League clash

They will be forced to mount a second-leg recovery for the second round in a row after they overturned a deficit against BATE Borisov in the round of 32, and Emery is calling on his side to produce a faultless display.“We are very demanding of ourselves,” he said.“For us, it’s one positive issue because we want to play big matches, tough matches against the best teams – and in the Europa League we are finding some results like the last round against BATE Borisov with difficulty.“This round is the same with a bad result in the first match and for us it’s a tough match tomorrow.“But our demands to get our best performance is in each training and each match, very high.2

The Gunners fell to a 3-1 defeat in the first leg last week in France

“I want to play matches that are difficult, with difficult results or with difficult players.“Tomorrow is one match. We need to be together and create a big atmosphere in the Emirates with our supporters to help us to do the best performance possible in 90 minutes.“We need to play with high emotion with our supporters but taking decisions on the pitch cleverly with our mind.“These are both important issues that we need to control over 90 minutes and maybe more.“We want to control but we want to build on the game because this result is giving us one long match tomorrow.” Despite their two-goal deficit, Emery’s side are still favourites to progress, but the Spanish manager is aware his side will need to control their emotions, pointing to those red cards to Lacazette and Sokratis.“I don’t think about it (being favourites),” he said. “I only want to play the best possible match, doing all we can, with each player and the team.“In the first 90 minutes they beat us and tomorrow we will want to show here it can be different, but with a big respect to them and also knowing we need all the players with the focus and to control our emotions and control the different situations and scenarios that can come in the 90 minutes.“This is our way and our match for tomorrow.”
