I\u2019ve still got friends here. I came here as a lad and left a man. I\u2019ll always love this club.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They are still second, they\u2019ve come far and have one of the best managers in the world. I\u2019ve worked with Mikel [Arteta].

But we need to enjoy this one then go again on Thursday and try to make the semi-finals.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>While Arsenal are going for their first Premier League title since 2004, Villa have aspirations

fifth-placed Tottenham, who suffered a humbling 4-0 defeat at Newcastle United yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I\u2019m very proud of the players,\u2019 Emery said. \u2018Beating Arsenal here is very difficult and we needed to play and be focused 100% and being very demanding in everything and more organised defensively.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018We needed the biggest commitment to do better than we did against Manchester City, that was the sample we used for this match and then, tried to face them playing in this level because this is the level I want to get to with our players and progressively, we
