Teenager expects Gunners' road form to improve
Defender Carl Jenkinson has backed Arsenal's away form to go from 'strength to strength' after beating London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Arsene Wenger's men condemned the Blues to a 5-3 defeat at the end of last month to mark their first Premier League road win this season.
The Gunners will pick up their campaign with a trip to promoted Norwich after the international break and 19-year-old right-back Jenkinson believes the North Londoners will be buoyed by their last away result.
"The Chelsea win was a big pick-up for us," he told Arsenal's
official website.
"It was nice because we know what we are capable of and I think that result showed everyone else what we are capable of.
"Not many teams have gone to Stamford Bridge and scored five goals and after that win I think our away form will go from strength to strength."
Difficult
He added: "Norwich are doing well and from what I've seen their home form has been good as well. They are obviously a good side so no one will be going there thinking it will be anything other than a difficult game.
"We've got to make sure we are fully focused because it's going to be a battle. We won't be taking anything for granted but hopefully we can go there and get a good result."
Arsenal suffered defeats ahead of the season's first two international weeks but entered the current break on the back of a comfortable home victory over West Brom.
Jenkinson feels that result has handed the Gunners a lift, adding: "It just makes your life a whole lot more pleasant.
"When you lose it takes a lot out of you and two weeks is a long time to dwell on a defeat, so it was really important to get a good result against West Brom.
"Everyone went away with a positive mindset compared to when you draw or lose. I think it was vital we got that, now everyone is feeling positive. Hopefully everyone will come back without any injuries and we'll be ready to crack on against Norwich."
