Mikel Arteta said Friday that Arsenal’s impressive consistency should make them “very convinced” they can achieve something special this season.
“We are building very good momentum and belief comes from performances, the level of consistency that we have shown throughout 32 games already this season,” said the Spaniard, whose side have lost just twice this season.
“And what we did the other day at Stamford Bridge, it should help us to be very convinced that we have the ability to do that.
“But the reality is that you have to show it in every game and there’s still so much to happen, but we are glad that we are still alive in the four competitions.”

Arteta added his players had reacted positively to extra competition for places in a strengthened squad.
“It’s something that we talked about from the start of the season,” he said. “If we want to have any chance of doing that (winning the Premier League), we have to be there.”
The Arsenal manager said other clubs who had challenged for the Premier League title in recent years such as City and Liverpool also had deep squads.
“So this is the nature,” he said, with Arsenal bidding to be crowned champions of England for the first time since 2004. “We want this. We really have to accept this because there’s no other way.
