Manager Mikel Arteta said he is hoping the World Cup break does not impede Arsenal's momentum, after the north London club defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 on Saturday to take a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
There will be a mid-season break after Sunday's fixtures to accommodate the World Cup, which runs from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18 in Qatar. The league will resume on Boxing Day.
"I don't know , I'll touch wood and hope for the best. When everyone is back we'll assess where we are and go from there."
