Arsene Wenger believes Arsenal's true standing among the Premier League title contenders will become clearer at the end of November.
.
Wenger's side will attempt to consolidate their standing as the early leaders, ahead of Liverpool on goal difference, when they face Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
.
The disappointment of the opening day defeat to Aston Villa has long been forgotten with the Gunners making impressive headway at home and in the Champions League.
.
That meant Wenger was able to use the club's Annual General Meeting of shareholders to speak confidently about his side's progress – in contrast to recent years when he has frequently been forced to defend the lack of success on the pitch and the failure to replace big names like Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas.
.
But he injected a note of caution, saying: "We are top of the table, in a very strong position, but at the end of November will give a much clearer indication of where everyone lies.
.
"I am confident that at the end of May we will all be happy."
.
And the Gunners manager restated his determination to deliver success –Arsenal last won a trophy in 2005 – without compromising the club's established way of playing and conducting business.
Well i don't think the Arsenal fans on social media are reasoning with Arsene Wenger rite nw. They all believe they've won the league
