Mikel Arteta reflected on the feeling in his camp before **Arsenal**travel to play against Wolves.
A 1-1 draw against **Brentford**saw their lead at the top of the Premier League cut down to four points, so a 4-0 thrashing in the **FA Cup**fourth round on the weekend was a big morale booster. The Gunners are under growing pressure from Man City, but Arteta insisted the focus is on his group.
*“We are gonna play a game tomorrow and then on Sunday again, and then we continue to play, but really good, because that means that we are in every competition, in a really strong position as well, so it was good because I liked a lot what the players delivered [against **Wigan Athletic*], some players that didn’t have many minutes, and the attitude, the way we attacked the game, was very impressive.
“The position that we are in is a privilege and we take it because we have earned it, and for so long, seven and a half months is a long time to, every single day, do the rights things and perform at the level that we are performing to get where we are, so we need to embrace that.
“Tomorrow we know we’re gonna play a really difficult match against them, our recent past with them showed how tough it was to actually win the three points. I know Rob really well and how he sets his teams out and it’s going to be a tough test.
“[The players] have given me the confidence that what we've done up to now, every single day, and the biggest reassurance in every competition, the manner we've done it, with all the challenges that we've faced already, gives me confidence because it's the way we prepare.
“I don't get the confidence for the things that I imagine, for the things that I see every day and the preparation and how much the players want it. We are where we want to be, that's for sure.
“We are looking at what we are doing and especially what we have to do in the present, tomorrow, how we have to perform against Wolves to do better than that and win the game and that's it.”
