Emery won three consecutive Europa League titles with Sevilla between 2014 and 2016 and winning the competition once more would guarantee Arsenal a much-needed return to the Champions League next season after a two-year absence. Emery's men have won 11 consecutive home games in the Premier League and Europa League since November, compared to three away wins in 12 matches on the road in the same period. "We know that for example on Thursday one match can change a lot with one red card or goal, so controlling our emotions is very important," said Emery. In contrast to Arsenal's struggles, Chelsea seem set to cruise into the quarter-finals after taking a 3-0 first leg lead over Dynamo Kiev. Sevilla have work to do if the Spanish side are to continue their incredible Europa League record as the five-time winners were held 2-2 at home by Slavia Prague last week.
