Arsene Wenger is satisfied with Arsenal's five-point lead over the rest of the Premier League.
The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw by Everton on Sunday to go five ahead of second-placed Liverpool and third-placed Chelsea after 15 matches.
Wenger feels that the current lead they hold is a nice buffer as they get set to take on Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday and fourth-placed Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on the weekend.
"Ideally we wanted seven but at least we've got five," he told Sky Sports.
"It gives a little bit of a cushion to play in a serene way against the other teams.
"Now we go to the Champions League so let us focus on that. It is important that we recover.
"We have a difficult task in Naples and then go to Man City."
