Arsenal might have had a couple of disappointments in cup competitions recently, but they continue to roll along nicely in the league.
The Gunners won 3-0 at West Ham this evening to keep up the pace with the two Manchester clubs above them.
The win also marks the team's seventh away win of the season, and a third clean sheet in a row in the league, two statistics that please the manager Arsène Wenger in terms of his team's title challenge.
Speaking after the game, the boss said: "It was a convincing win. In fact we are on a very strong run in the Premier League because we beat Chelsea, won twice 3-0 away from home and a convincing 0-0 against Man City at home.
"So overall we are on a strong run. I have said many times that the Premier League will be exciting and interesting until the end.
"I think it's in our hands. In the fact that we play all of the big teams at home and that we have a strong run at home now. We have played many away games, so now we'll see that it is down to us."
With Manchester United and Tottenham meeting at White Hart Lane tomorrow, Wenger knows there is yet more opportunity for the other title challengers to drop points.
He added: "Tomorrow we have many big games, but we have done the job today. So we can watch them in a relaxed way a little bit. But we are very interested in one because it is a big test for Tottenham and Man United tomorrow.
