Mikel Arteta's side have received plenty of praise so far this season, with Arsenal four points clear at the top of the Premier League. Despite this, the Spaniard is keeping his feet firmly on the ground and refuses to get involved in any title-based chat.
However, surely Arteta would have taken at least some satisfaction from Arsene Wenger's glowing praise of his side. The Gunners legend was one of the first people to big up Arsenal's title chances last month - an opinion which ages better by the week.
"There is no completely dominating team this season, and Arsenal has a chance with the potential that is there," said Wenger. "We used to be in the top four, and why not again? You cannot even rule out the fact that they can fight for the title, and hopefully, they can do it."
