Henrikh Mkhitaryan says the "culture" at Arsenal has changed since Unai Emery replaced Arsene Wenger in the summer.
Arsenal are on a 15-game unbeaten run in all competitions ahead of Sunday's match with Wolves and Mkhitaryan thinks the club's fans are finally beginning to believe in the players again following Emery's arrival.
"It is not that a big thing has changed, it is only the fact of the manager," he said.
"But as well the culture changed a bit in the club and as well outside the club. Now people are believing more in ourselves because we are playing a bit differently, we are giving them confidence and playing the way they want us to play.
"We are scoring goals, winning games and it is the best feeling for the supporters."

Mkhitaryan, who joined the Gunners from Manchester United in January, thinks Emery has benefited from Wenger's achievements during his 22-year tenure at the club while stamping his own mark.
"The playing style, the playing philosophy," he added. "Not a lot but he has just built on the base Arsene Wenger has built in 22 years. The players have accepted all the conditions. Everything is what Emery is expecting and asking from us."
Arsenal came from behind to draw with Liverpool in their last home league match and the 29-year-old midfielder wants a repeat of the atmosphere that inspired their comeback.
He went on: "From the first minute, everyone felt the atmosphere in the stadium.
"They [the supporters] played a big role when we scored the equaliser against Liverpool because they were pushing us to go forward, forward, and in the end we have scored. Thanks to them. I hope to feel this atmosphere in every game."
