What Chris Wilder said about Arsenal's 'quality' amid talk of replacing Unai Emery

Chris Wilder is being talked up as a potential replacement for Unai Emery at Arsenal.

The Spanish head coach, who is in only his second season at the Emirates Stadium, is coming under increasing pressure.

The Gunners missed out on Champions League football this season with a disastrous end to the 2018/19 campaign, losing four of their last seven matches.

And things have not gone to plan so far this season either.

A 1-1 draw at home to Wolves, having led 1-0, followed a 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace, having led 2-0.

Prior to that, the Gunners lost 1-0 at Sheffield United, making it no wins in their last three games.

The Gunners are six points outside the top four after 11 games with work to do to get back into Europe's elite competition again.

Many supporters are calling for a change in head coach to be made, with Wilder among a number of names linked with the job, should Emery bite the bullet.

And Sheffield United's victory over the Gunners just two weeks ago means Wilder has been talking about Arsenal recently.

And after beating Emery's men, the Blades boss talked up the quality the Spaniard has at his disposal, suggesting they should be doing better than they are.

He said: "We've deserved to win a tight game, we've created some good chances, we knew they were going to have a lot of ball and so they should with the amount of quality they've got on show.

"It was good for us to get our noses in front and hang on to something. We got the balance right, we had to put in a big performance to get a result and we've done that."
