Emery has been tasked with returning Arsenal to the top four following a disappointing campaign last term that saw them miss out on Champions League football for the second season running.
The Gunners have started the season strongly and are currently enjoying an unbeaten run of 16 matches in all competitions.
Emery’s side find themselves fifth in the Premier League table, just three points off the top four.
Arsenal are exceeding expectations in what was always likely to be a season of transition.
The north London side are adjusting to a new philosophy under Emery as he attempts to transfer the ideas that have served him well in the past, delivering 10 trophies in the last five years.

“Not about the team,” he told Marca when asked if he’d spoken to Wenger.
What's hot
“I met once with him, and little else.
“I respect him a lot, but no matter how much info he gave me, I had to change things.
“I told the players: 'We started at kilometer zero'.
“Even now, four months later, I still say it: 'We are in the beginning'.”
Arsenal return to Premier League action on Sunday with a trip to high-flying Bournemouth.
