"Against Arsenal, we showed how much class we've got," he told the official site.
"We showed we've got talent all over the pitch; at home, with the atmosphere behind us, you don't have to motivate yourself - you just go out and perform, and more often than not you play well.
"But coming away on a Wednesday night, windy, on a difficult pitch, away to Fulham is a big test for the team.
"We've passed it but we still have to learn from our mistakes and defend better on the road if we're to finish in the top four places. We're in the mix.
"It's still early days, there's a lot of football to be played and we're not going to get carried away, but we are in good form. We feel as if we're dark horses.
"We just carry on playing and trying to win as many games as we can. We have the advantage, in a funny way, of no European football, because we have just got the league and FA Cup to focus on."
