“We are prioritising the Premier League, and this is the message. If we are thinking after the match against Fulham, then we are making a mistake.”
Emery in his pre-Fulham press conference (30 Oct), adding that Jackson and Manzambi should be available after being left out at Bournemouth “for different reasons, not only rest”.
