Tottenham improved a lot with him."Their level now is very big. They have very good players, the coach is working very well, they are winning a lot of matches. "When they are on the ball they are a very organised team, movement, they like a lot to be in possession, progress with the passes, with quality, are physically very hard and have attacking players with very big performances now." Wednesday's encounter will be the second time the sides have met this season, with Arsenal coming out on top in the Premier League on December 2, winning 4-2 at Emirates Stadium.Arsenal have faltered somewhat since that result, however, and a 22-match unbeaten run came to an end with a 3-2 defeat at Southampton on Sunday.  Tottenham, meanwhile, have won their last three league games, as well as securing progression into the last 16 of the Champions League with a 1-1 draw at Barcelona, and Emery is expecting a response from Pochettino's side. "We need to do a big match and I think it will more difficult than the first," Emery added."It's a very big test and also they are coming with a very big ambition against us because after the first derby they need to show us and their supporters a big performance. "I think is a very good match for the supporters, very big match for the players and a very big match for us, the coaches, also."</blockquote>
