Arsenal beat Napoli 3-0 on aggregate, hope we will be one past last year.

Their hopes of playing Champions League football hang in the balance, with Europa League success another way of qualifying.

But Marcelino says recent defeats to Crystal Palace, Wolves and Leicester are of no interest to him - instead pointing to Arsenal's comfortable quarter-final win over Napoli as his reference point.

'They easily eliminated Napoli,' he said.

'That is the reference for us. They are a great side with huge potential and are strong at home.

'It will be tough for us and I hope it will be for them as well. We need to play each minute as (if) it was the last.

'Past results don't matter. We know their players can adapt to these situations and they will want an advantage in the first leg. We are a tough team to play at our place - it is a tough stadium to go to.'

Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will hope to put Valencia to the sword

Valencia captain Dani Parejo was at the club during Emery's tenure as head coach, the pair working together for two years.

The former Real Madrid youngster professed surprise at Emery chopping and changing his tactics and has targeted Arsenal's defence - which conceded three goals in each of their last three games - ahead of the first leg.

'I worked with him for a year,' he said of Emery.

'I was young. I believe that coaches have their own playing style and always try to use that style regardless of which team they are coaching.

'I am surprised that he changed his system - they don't use a back four example. But his team compete and play good football.

Arsenal are condemned to win this one for the fans though. No club fan has suffered as much as Arsenal fans in the last couple of weeks. They owe us big time.

Valencia too small for Arsenal

Oooo Arsenal my Arsenal, I'm very sure you saved all your strength for today. COYG

Unai Emery is not a good coach. Look at his lineup

90munites shall tell

When you start supporting a football club, you don’t support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong.


Gunners forever

May the best team win.
YNWA!

COYG!!!!

Such poor assumption... You should try watching La Liga a bit more... Barca and Real Madrid won't dare make such statement.

COYG!!!!

Everytime I see Mustafi in an Arsenal line up my chest would jus b doing me somehow...

I hope we win this one. Losing is already in our DNA since march

Valencia were 2000 and 2002 champions league finalise. I one arsenal to go through as an emery and iwobi fan, but if Valencia win no problem (as a laliga fan)

I'm sure Valencia must have heard of Arsenal's poor run and underestimate them, I hope Arsenal shocks them with at least 3 goals. #COYG
