Unai Emery: Cutting the gap to Tottenham Hotspur motivates Arsenal
Following their 5-1 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday evening, the Gunners preserved their place inside the Premier League's top four and they are now four points off third-placed Spurs who lost 2-0 to Chelsea.
The pressure is on both teams with Chelsea and Manchester United lurking behind, but Emery has his sights set on the teams above them.
"It's a big motivation, but we were speaking to the players about it," he said.
"We need to take the opportunity today, and after that we can have a great opportunity on Saturday. They are still ahead of us in the table, and it's difficult to win there, but it's a good test.
"I'm going to watch the match back, and Tottenham's, and after that I will decide our gameplan for Saturday with every player. We need the players in the first 11 and on the bench, and a big commitment between every player to help us.
"If we can play with a big performance, I want every player to help us once we make these decisions."
Mesut Ozil marked his return to the starting XI by opening the scoring while Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Laurent Koscielney, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette were also on the scoresheet.
