Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is wary facing Brentford this weekend.

The Gunners go into the game in tremendous form.

But Arteta says: “It shows the quality and the consistency that the team is showing. The way that we have scored goals, not only the manner but the personnel, is a really positive thing to see. Then there's the fact that we are conceding very little defensively so those ingredients together are very powerful to get results and consistency, and we want more.

“We know the demands that Brentford are going to ask us to win the match. We are still not [top of the league] and we want to be better than where we are at the moment, and the other two are, so we have to continue to win.

“There's something amongst the team that they want to keep improving. They all believe that they have another gear or two to go and that's the level that we want to push them to.

“They have played more together, and understand the system better. They understand the way we have to compete and the demands that we have to put on ourselves better, and then the confidence grows when results go their way and the performance is good as well."
