Arsene Wenger is hoping Arsenal can maintain their recent fine form for the remainder of the season.

The free-scoring Gunners secured a comfortable 4-1 victory at Wolves on Saturday to lift them into second place in the Premier League table.

They are now unbeaten in 13 games and appear capable of sweeping all before them.

Title talk has understandably already begun to circulate at Emirates Stadium, and Wenger admits he is hoping to deliver that much-coveted piece of silverware to expectant supporters.

"The desire is there. We just want to strengthen our belief," said the Frenchman.

"The most important factor is we play for each other as we do. We have to focus on our performance and continue to develop our style of play.

"We were out of it (the title race) last year after we lost five games in 14. Two years ago, though, we were close to winning it, people forget that. We will keep our humility and play our game."

Pressure

Following their weekend stroll at Molineux, Arsenal have now scored 36 goals in 11 league games.

Wenger is delighted to see his attacking weapons firing on all cylinders and insists his side is now perfectly balanced.

He said: "We had so many chances and they had been under pressure for 10 to 15 minutes before the opening goal.

"I felt we controlled the game. Overall we could have scored many more. On every counter attack we looked dangerous.

"We have scored three against Tottenham, four against Alkmaar and four again today.

"We have scored 36 goals in the league. That is not a coincidence. We can score goals. I feel as though we have a good balance between offensive and defence."
