Arsene Wenger sees no reason why his current crop of stars cannot go on to achieve the accomplishment of his 2003/04 'invincibles'.
Four seasons ago Wenger's men went through the entire campaign unbeaten, winning 26 of their 38 league matches to become Premier League champions.
The Gunners have failed to regain the Premier League crown since, after the team that boasted the likes of Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Robert Pires and Sol Campbell disbanded.
Wenger believes the attitude of his 'invincibles' side was their main strength, something he wants his budding stars to add to their game after following up their impressive win over Bolton with defeat against Hull City.
"The invincibles were an extraordinary team and I believe we are very close - I believe we have the quality to achieve that," explained Wenger.
"What comes out of the invincibles is that the consistency they showed in their attitude and that is what we have to cope with and I believe we can take that from them.
"They have been consistent with their attitude and over the long-term there is that consistency there.
"I believe this team can achieve great things and we should not set limitations on that because they will go as far as they want to go.
"What energises me is boys who want to do something with their life and have a fantastic attitude and great desire. My job is to guide people who want to be successful and this bunch of players want to be successful.
"I have always had a strong belief we can achieve it with the players I have and I am confident I will be proved right so that is why I want to do that."
