    If you happen to be reading Arsenal.com but support another team then you probably want to surf somewhere else at this point because Ars&egrave;ne Wenger believes his table-topping side can get 20 per cent better.

    Arsenal go into tonight&rsquo;s Champions League tie with Slavia Prague hoping to extend a run of 11 straight victories.

    They lead the Premier League by two points with a game in hand. Victory over the Czech side will give them nine points from three Group H games, they&rsquo;ll probably need only one more from their remaining three ties to reach the Knockout Stages.

    But, despite all that, Wenger believes his side are operating at about 80 per cent of capacity right now.

    &ldquo;We can be more efficient,&rdquo; he said at Monday&rsquo;s press conference. &ldquo;We can improve our movement and I feel our conversion rate can be better with the chances we create.

    &ldquo;We will not always have five or six chances in the big games for one goal. In the big games you need &lsquo;one chance, one goal&rsquo; or &lsquo;two chances, one goal&rsquo;. Also we can be more compact with our lines so we can improve in many aspects.

    &ldquo;I feel that this team is at 80 per cent of its potential. For us to
    improve now, it is down to our mentality, humility and attitude.

    &ldquo;At the start of the season I thought we needed to win to give confidence and belief to the team because we did not have a lot. It was important to have a good start.

    &ldquo;Now the test is how we put in consistent performances and how well we deal with big games.

    &ldquo;We have two big teams [coming up] now. I am confident we will do very well, but these are the tests. However we have already played Blackburn and Man City who are doing well, so we have not only had easy games.&rdquo;</p>
