Unai Emery takes his arsenal in Manchester City on Sunday
Arsenal head coach, Unai Emery, admits that it will be difficult for his team to impose on Manchester City during their Sunday game.
Newcastle beat Pep Guardiola's team 2-1 in the middle of the week playing an essentially defensive style, while Leicester and Crystal Palace defeated City at Christmas after adopting a similar counterattack tactic.
Emery acknowledges that Arsenal might have a hard time taking a proactive approach in the game at Etihad – live Sky sports – but is that the Gunners do not adopt a too reactionary style against a part of the City who will want to put pressure on the leaders of Liverpool, who will not play before Monday against the West Ham.
"Generally, Manchester City imposes its style every game," he said.
"You want to impose your style, you want to play with your personality, but sometimes you need to adapt – more or less, it depends on the opposition.

"It's very difficult to break their style and impose yours, when a lot of teams play with a very deep block, it's because they need to play like that and they can also have chances to win.
"Usually, you can play 10 games against Manchester City – maybe Newcastle, Crystal Palace, maybe we too – you can lose 10 times by playing the same way, or maybe lose seven, draw two and to win one.
"But this style can work for you as Newcastle and Crystal Palace have won against them."
5:32 Unai Emery, director of Arsenal, explains to Tubes, of Soccer AM, his hatred for the loss, his love for the Premier League and why it has always been animated.
Arsenal was beaten 5-1 in Liverpool in December while he was trying to impose his own philosophy on the game, but even that heavy defeat did not deter Emery from trying to impose a particular style to his players.
"These are two different teams," he said about City and Arsenal.
"A different way of playing, but with a very large organization, very great managers and also very big players.
"For example, Liverpool's progress is very important progress and they are now favorites because they are in the lead.

"Manchester City is perhaps a different example because they have paid a lot and maybe we can not do that now, but we can also proceed in a similar way to Liverpool, similar to Tottenham.
"Do more with young players, use the good players who can improve with us, and we do it, we need time, but we also have to be very demanding of ourselves to do it."
