		</div><p>Arsenal manager Unai Emery has confidence in UEFA to deal with the racism experienced in Bulgaria at the start of the week.</p>
<p>England’s black players were targeted throughout the Euro 2020 qualifier in Sofia, and the Bulgarian Football Union has been charged by UEFA over the racist behaviour of its fans.</p>
<p>Aleksander Ceferin, the president of European football’s governing body, spoke on Tuesday about ‘waging war’ on racism.</p>
<p>Under UEFA regulations, the BFU could face a full ground closure for their next competitive home match and a fine of 50,000 euros.</p>
<p><em>“I think firstly we need to be confident in the responsibility UEFA has to improve the situation and to finish with racism,”</em> Emery said.</p>
<p><em>“Really, I know it’s not easy but I think they are going to do that and we need to also be strong in helping them.</em></p>
<p><em>“We were speaking about it two months ago and it’s the same. UEFA has to be strong to finish action like that.</em></p>
<p><em>“The responsibility is to all of us. We all have individual responsibility to be strong (when there is) unacceptable behaviour in that situation and to help everyone to finish that.”</em></p>
<p>England manager Gareth Southgate and his players were praised for their reaction during the Euro 2020 qualifier.</p>
<p>There were two breaks in play after racist chanting was reported to the match officials, which follows UEFA’s anti-racism protocol.</p>
<p>Asked about how Southgate handled the situation, Emery responded: <em>“It’s difficult but the most important thing is that it’s not the responsibility of one coach, one player or one team. It’s for everybody.</em></p>
<p><em>“We need to be strong as a football world and also UEFA to finish that sort of behaviour. It’s a small moment and only some people showing this behaviour, but we need to close and finish this because it’s unacceptable.”</em></p>
<p>Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been on the receiving end of racism in the past.</p>
<p>He is set to lead the line for the Gunners at Sheffield United on Monday, but fellow striker Alexandre Lacazette may have to settle for a place on the bench after his return from an ankle injury.</p>
<p>The Blades gave leaders Liverpool a scare earlier this month before the Reds secured a 1-0 victory and Gunners boss Emery is preparing for an equally tricky test under the lights at Bramall Lane.</p>
<p><em>“With their supporters, they are going to push us a lot, but we’re ready and we’re going to prepare for the match as best as possible,”</em> he added.</p>
<p><em>“It’s a big challenge in each match for the three points. We want to give our supporters there a good 90 minutes and also try to win the game.”</em></p>
