Arsenal begin the new league campaign against Leicester City on Friday, live on Sky Sports, and Wenger insists the club must not repeat their slow starts to previous seasons.

"Overall I believe that it's down to us," he added. "The trend has always to come from the team. We had some bad starts recently, the last four years, in the first game of the Premier League.
