(Reuters) - Arsenal must be optimistic and recover their confidence ahead of Sunday's trip to Leicester City after losing three of their last four Premier League games, manager Unai Emery said on Friday.
The London club are looking to finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League for the first time in three seasons but now find themselves in fifth place, a point behind fourth-placed Chelsea with three games to go.
"We lost the last two matches but our focus has to be on the present, next Sunday. If we think negative after the last two matches, we can think positive before Watford and Napoli. Each match is a new history, each match is a new test. Emery also praised Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers who has overseen a turnaround since his appointment in late February. Leicester have picked up 13 points since his arrival to move within three points of seventh placed Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"He's doing important things in the set-pieces. They feel good now with confidence. They have good individual players with good combinations."
