Relentless Arsenal push on as Mikel Arteta warns 'winning never gets easier'

Arsenal sit six points clear at the top of the Premier League and have won all three of their UEFA Champions League league phase games without conceding a goal.

They travel to the Czech capital on Tuesday to face an unbeaten Slavia Prague side in what promises to be one of their toughest tests yet.

The Gunners have been rock solid defensively, going through October without conceding a goal in any competition. They have let in just three goals in 15 matches this season, all in the league, and share the best defensive record in Europe's top competitions alongside Internazionale.

Arteta, however, warned that maintaining such standards will only get harder as the season progresses.

"We are where we want to be in the Premier League, Champions League and the Carabao Cup," he told TNT Sports. "There is very good energy and confidence, but we know how difficult it is to win, and to keep winning. Every challenge is tough, and tomorrow will be no different."

The Arsenal manager acknowledged the threat posed by Slavia Prague, who are unbeaten domestically and have conceded only eight goals in the Czech league. "It will be a very demanding game, especially with the atmosphere here. They are a team full of belief," Arteta said.

Despite missing seven key players, several of them in attacking positions, Arteta praised his squad's adaptability. "The team have found ways to win, to compete and to keep the aggression and will to win. We must continue in that way," he added.

Leandro Trossard believes Arsenal's current mentality has been shaped by their near-misses in recent seasons. "Once a game is over, everyone is immediately focused on the next one," he said.

"We've been challenging for titles for a few years now, and that experience drives us to keep pushing. You can see it in everyone's body language, we want to win every game."

The Belgian winger also credited the Gunners' growing threat from set pieces under specialist coach Nico Jover. "Everyone believes we can score from every set piece. It gives us another weapon, and the more chances we get, the more likely we are to score," he said.

With momentum high and belief growing, Arsenal will look to extend their unbeaten run in Prague, but Arteta knows the real challenge lies in sustaining it. "Winning is the hardest thing in football," he said, "and we have to prove we can keep doing it."
