For the first time the Italian appeared to concede that his side now have a realistic chance of becoming champions after previously stating that his team would simply take one game at a time.
He told BT Sport that he would allow himself a little celebration after the match but then added: "Our fans are dreaming… Of course there are a lot of super teams. But we have to try [and win the league], why not! "
The 64-year-old also said that the league was extremely open and that anyone could win it.
"We play without pressure because we don't have to win the league, " he told the BBC.
"We must enjoy. This league is so strange and now it is important to think about Arsenal. I want to wait until the end of April because I know the last matches are very tough.
"This is a fantastic moment for the Premier League, nobody knows who can win it. I hope my players didn't feel pressure. We have to enjoy, with a lot of confidence match after match and step by step."
