But Wenger claims the title race is not over and insists supporters - and the team - must band together and take inspiration from the likes of north London rivals Spurs.
He said: "Our fans have been consistent and have a high level of expectation.
"You cannot be a fan last Tuesday and then not next Saturday.
"All the other clubs, everywhere we fight with Man United, Man City, Liverpool . . . they have big expectations as well and big histories. We are in a fight there, we absolutely have to be united or we have no chance to do it.
