Emery happy for Torreira to risk Liverpool ban and won't encourage midfielder to be cautious

Unai Emery insists he will not ask Lucas Torreira to play carefully and avoid a booking against Brighton and Hove Albion that would rule him out of Arsenal's trip to Liverpool.

Torreira and fellow midfielder Matteo Guendouzi are one yellow card away from a one-match suspension in the Premier League, having received four each this season.

They would be ruled out of the clash with unbeaten Liverpool at Anfield on December 29th if they were to be booked against Brighton, but Emery says the risk will not influence his plans.

"We are going to play the next match in Brighton, and we are going to play full, not considering the option of playing with more precaution," he said.
