Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini has urged his teammates to maintain their focus ahead of a busy month for the club.

The Gunners face a crucial Champions League clash in Napoli on Wednesday before Premier League fixtures against Manchester City, Chelsea, West Ham United and Newcastle United.

"Now it is important just to focus on game after game, because we have another big match away to Napoli, and then play at Manchester City, so everything goes very quick in the championship, especially when you have so many games," Sky Sports News quotes Flamini as saying.

"It is going to be a busy period for us and we just have to focus. These are all big games, the ones you want to play in, and everyone is excited to be playing in them."

Arsenal currently sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League table following Sunday's 1-1 draw at home to Everton.
