Michael Laudrup has impressed at the helm of Swansea and helped seal European football next season after guiding Swansea to victory in the Capital One Cup.
Swansea fell to a controversial 2-1 loss against West Brom last weekend, but Vorm believes that the game will have little bearing in the coming week, when they face Arsenal at the Liberty City Stadium on Saturday.
"It will be a totally different game to West Brom. We've played Arsenal a couple of times, we won at home and playing them suits us a bit better," Vorm was quoted as saying on the Daily Express.
"But we've nine games to go and we have to learn from the West Brom game. If we take the positives from the first half then we can play so well.
"It's an important game for us because even though we have 40 points we want to win a couple more."
Arsenal came out of the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie with a 2-0 win over Bayern Munich, but it was not enough to prevent them from going out of the competition and will travel without Jack Wilshere.
Having recorded victories in the last two clashes between both sides in the Premier League, Vorm believes that the Swans can record a hat-trick of wins over Arsenal, who are five points adrift of Chelsea in the fight for the fourth and final Champions League spot in the table.
The Dutchman added: "Of course we can make it three wins - if we play to our best then we can beat everybody. We don't need to be afraid of anybody.
"It's more that they are afraid of us because they know how well we can play. Arsenal is a game that suits us.
"Arsenal don't like to play against us because they know what we are capable of. They also know they can't afford to lose games so it will be tough for them.
"It's hard because there are a lot of good teams. Look at Spurs, they are almost unbeatable at the moment.
"A lot of teams are fighting for the top four spots and I don't think they are going to make it."
