Unai Emery comes up against old club Arsenal again on Saturday with the memories and remnants of his indifferent tenure in charge fading with each passing season.
Since the Spaniard's departure in November 2019, Mikel Arteta has turned the Gunners into title chasers following a severe overhaul of the club's playing staff and more. Among the factors to have all but bitten the dust includes the much-maligned 'leadership group' which Emery swore by rather than relying on a single captain.
Arteta has in some way kept that link slightly in tact, albeit with Martin Odegaard the permanently appointed skipper and Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka deemed as the two Arsenal stars who would fulfil the captain's duties in the event of his absence.
