Arsene Wenger believes his Arsenal side have already produced the
"complete performance" which sees them on the verge of
qualification for the last 16 of the Champions League.
But he warned Slavia Prague will be out for "revenge" in the Czech
Republic on Wednesday night.
The Gunners maintained a slender advantage at the top of the
Premier League by snatching a dramatic late 2-2 draw with
Manchester United.
Their "so-called beautiful football" may have won few plaudits from
United midfielder Owen Hargreaves afterwards, but Wenger's emerging
squad continue to impress.
Arsenal's unbeaten run now stands at 25 consecutive matches and
stretches back to April last season, a new club record.
Given the way they set about destroying the Czechs at the Emirates
Stadium a fortnight ago, few expect that sequence to come to an end
in Prague this week.
While accepting he had probably witnessed one of the best all-round
attacking displays from his team, Wenger knows over-confidence
could be the undoing of the Group H leaders, who have a 100% record
so far.
"I felt the 7-0 win against Slavia Prague was a really complete
performance at some points," Wenger said.
"Particularly in the latter stages of the game when the goals came
on the floor, and each goal would be bigger, quicker and of a
better quality than the last.
"When we meet Slavia again on Wednesday, they will be full of
desire for revenge. We will go into the game with top focus and
commitment.
"We want to qualify for the last 16 in that game, we have a good
opportunity and we don't want to neglect that."
Wenger revealed he could "re-balance" Arsenal's forwards options
after again utilising Emmanuel Adebayor in a lone-striker role
against United, with Alexander Hleb in support.
The Togo frontman has six goals this season, but none in the last
seven games.
With Robin van Persie not scheduled to return until the end of the
month following a knee injury, Theo Walcott could be handed another
start following his impressive brace against Slavia last time out
from a central attacking role.
"We will rotate the squad a bit more going into November and
December, we will have had three months of hard competition, often
with games every three days," Wenger added.
The Arsenal boss has plenty of other options with Croatia's Eduardo
eager for more action following his double in the Carling Cup win
over Sheffield United.
The 24-year-old said: "I am trying to carve out my space little by
little. I may be doing it slowly, but I am doing it all the
same.
"I am getting more and more confident too. If I get five minutes
here, then 10 minutes, then full game, then that is the way forward
as I get more confidence for the next games.
"I am adapting at my own pace and I am on track. I am getting my
chances and making the most of them. I just need to wait for my
opportunities."
Meanwhile, Arsenal will study CCTV footage and reports from club
officials before deciding whether to take further action against a
man ejected from the stadium during Saturday's game with
United.
Sir Alex Ferguson was less than impressed by what he perceived as a
hostile reception from home supporters positioned behind the away
team, declaring "It is absolutely disgraceful the abuse you and
your staff take" and there is "absolute danger here".
Arsenal maintain they are satisfied with the current overall
security arrangements, which also include a metal barrier as well
as a row of stewards behind the technical areas.
