Bacary Sagna says Arsenal's players are happy they're being written off as genuine title contenders.
And the fullback warns Chelsea and Manchester City they are ready to end their nine-year wait for silverware.
"It is better for us because we can keep going forward without being under pressure," said Sagna.
"Everyone is talking about Chelsea and City more than us but we believe in ourselves. The other teams know we have not won a trophy for a long time and maybe they think we will drop points. They do not see us lifting trophies but that is good for us because we can keep working hard."
He added: "I can feel a difference this season. We are more focused and no one scares us. We were not missing a lot to win a trophy but we did miss something. We lost the first game of the season against Aston Villa but there were never any doubts in the team."
