<p>The 36-year-old announced in January that he would retire at the end of the season, having won no fewer than 14 major trophies with Chelsea and the Gunners.</p>
<p>Having lost his place as first-choice goalkeeper at the Emirates Stadium to Bernd Leno, Cech has been relegated to playing in the cup competitions.</p>

<p>He will start for Unai Emery’s side when they face BATE Borisov in the first leg of their Europa League round-of-32 tie on Thursday night – and he already has his eyes on the final.</p>
<p><em>“Of course that would be an ideal scenario for me to finish my career,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“We prepare every day for every competition and this is what we are aiming for, we try to win every game and progress step by step and as a club it is important for us to try and go as far as possible.</em></p>

<p><em>“Winning the Europa League is a great memory for everyone involved and secondly it can book you a place in the Champions League – so you can see, there is a lot to play for.”</em></p>
<p>While Cech is expected to line up at the Borisov Arena, Emery was again quizzed on the continued absence of Arsenal’s highest-earner Mesut Ozil.</p>
<p>The forward has found himself on the periphery of the Arsenal side under Emery and missed the weekend win at Huddersfield through illness.</p>
<p>He was not part of the traveling party to Minsk on Wednesday evening, although Emery explained the decision was not a tactical one.</p>
<p><em>“The players we didn’t bring in the squad were because Aaron Ramsey did not train with us and Sokratis (Papastathopoulos) only started training yesterday and today – I don’t think it’s enough,”</em> he said.</p>
<p><em>“Mesut is the same. (Pierre-Emerick) Aubameyang, after he was sick, trained on Monday, yesterday and today, and I think he’s OK for the match.”</em></p>
<p>While temperatures in Belarus hover around zero, Emery insists his side will have no excuses to get a positive result.</p>
<p><em>“We played against Vorskla in Kiev when it was below zero snowing,”</em> he added.</p>
<p><em>“It’s not an excuse for us, the weather or the pitch. We play 90 minutes that are the same for them and for us.”</em></p>
