Arsenal return to Premier League action against Aston Villa on Saturday having lost their last two matches in the FA Cup and Champions League respectively.
The Gunners claimed a fortuitous 1-0 win last time in the league against Sunderland and are looking to close a four-point gap to Tottenham Hotspur, who are fourth.
Villa won their first game since mid-December last time, beating West Ham United 2-1 at Villa Park that lifted them out of the bottom three.
Kieran Gibbs remains Arsene Wenger's only injury concern and he could select the same side that lost 3-1 to Bayern Munich in the week.
For Villa, Karim El Ahmadi could return along with Gabriel Agbonlahor but Marc Albrighton is still missing.
