Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya is confident about the team's potential to beat anyone in the Premier League after their 2-1 victory against Chelsea on Sunday.
Raya conceded his first goal of the season in the opening minutes of the encounter, but the Gunners showed resilience with Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard overturning the deficit.
After matchday three, the Gunners and Manchester City are the only teams with a 100 percent start in the Premier League, and they are locked on the same goal difference.
RAYA SAYS ARSENAL ARE MORE MOTIVATED & CONFIDENT
Arsenal ended their long wait for a Premier League title last season and they have started the new campaign with a Community Shield after beating City in August.
Raya said the two pieces of silverware are extra motivation for Mikel Arteta's men as they aim to conquer the English top division in successive seasons.
"Of course, winning the league after that many years and after those years that you are so close, it gives you that relief and it gives you that extra confidence," the Spanish goalkeeper was quoted by the Mirror.
"Coming from the three games, especially the Community Shield, winning against Manchester City, the way we played, that gives you extra motivation and extra confidence to play the way we want to play.
"And of course, winning the title last year is a lift to make these fans happy. These people around the club are really happy. So hopefully, we can keep playing this way because we know how good we are.
"We know we can beat anybody in this league. Let's just focus on the moment and be in the present. And I just want more from me."
ARSENAL ENJOYING CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RUN
Arsenal also reached the UEFA Champions League final last season but they lost Paris Saint-Germain in the Budapest final.
During their run to the final, the Gunners were the only team not to lose a match in the 36-team league phase of the competition.
On Wednesday, Arsenal will begin the new European campaign with a trip to Serie A club Napoli and Raya hinted at the secret behind their formidable run in the elite tournament.
"Playing in the Champions League is something really, really special," he said. "We've been improving every single year in the Champions League, especially so many years without playing it.
"I think since we came back to the competition, we've been enjoying it. Which is the most important thing. Enjoying the competition as the biggest club competition that we can play for."
