Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes it is folly to talk about his team as Premier League winners so early in the season and urged his Gunners to focus instead on their European aspirations against Napoli tonight.
Arsenal capitalised on slips by their rivals to move two points clear at the top of the domestic table with victory at Swansea on Saturday.
Although Wenger may well have masterminded a superb winning run since the opening-day defeat by Aston Villa, the French coach insists you are only as good as your next game, which will see Champions League Group F rivals Napoli and a certain Rafael Benitez come to the Emirates Stadium looking to put a dent in qualification hopes for the knockout stages.
“You believe 100% or you don’t believe, so that is how much our belief in the title is,” said Wenger.
“In our job the most important thing is to have a good balance between ambition and humility.”
