Arsenal manager Unai Emery was given a reminder of how cut throat Premier League management can be with Tottenham's sacking of Mauricio Pochettino this week and needs a quick turnaround in fortunes if he is to avoid the same fate.
Emery's side face Southampton at the Emirates on Saturday with the Spaniard's position coming under increasing scrutiny after a dismal run that has brought just two wins in the last ten Premier League games.
"For me it was a surprise," said Emery on Pochettino's departure. "I think Tottenham were doing very good work with Pochettino.
"Maybe the last result, the last matches they didn't play or didn't achieve good results, but I think overall that their way in the last years with Pochettino was perfect."
