Wenger: We won't let complacency set in

Arsene Wenger says Arsenal will not be affected by complacency when they return to Premiership action against Bolton at Highbury.

Arsene Wenger says Arsenal will not be affected by complacency when they return to Premiership action against Bolton at Highbury.

Arsenal have been setting records aplenty in domestic action.

Their win at Charlton last weekend took their unbeaten league run to 27 games, eclipsing the record for scoring in consecutive top-flight games, taking their tally to 45.

Another goal against Bolton would then take them level with the all-time English record of 46 games, which was set by Chesterfield in 1929 and 1930.

Wenger said: "We are obviously on a marvellous run at the moment but I have no fear of complacency creeping in.

"This is because I know that we still desperately want to improve and, when that basic attitude holds true, you can only get better."

Wenger's main selection decision revolves around Freddie Ljungberg, who had hamstring trouble in his comeback against Borussia Dortmund in midweek.

Ray Parlour, who was ruled out with a knee problem, was being reassessed this week, while Francis Jeffers put himself in contention for a place, at least on the bench, with a hat-trick in the reserves' 4-0 win against Watford on Thursday.
