Emery under pressure

Former Valencia Coach Unai Emery is thought to be under pressure this week at Spartak Moscow, with a defeat likely to end his spell in Russia.

The tactician moved out to the Moscow club this summer after ending a four-year term with Los Che, but has struggled in these early months with results, with a number of injuries to personnel taking their toll.

Sport-Express allege that defeat tonight in the Group G Champions League clash at home to Benfica could be enough to signal the end of his tenure with the 21-time Russian champions.

Spartak have lost their opening two games of the group, including away to Barcelona, and would almost certainly be eliminated with defeat tonight. The team have also already lost five times in the Russian Premier League, including on their last two outings.
