Arsenal will look to get back on winning ways as they visit to take on Stoke City on Saturday.
The Gunners have endured a turbulent build-up to Saturday's encounter, slipping to disappointing 3-0 defeats to both Chelsea and Manchester City.
The setback against the Blues put a major dent in the club's title aspirations, while a frosty midweek clash with City saw them crash out of the Carling Cup at the quarter-final stage.
They will be determined to get back to winning ways this weekend, because if they lose again it will be the first time they have lost three Premier League games in succession since April 2007.
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott will miss Saturday's, however, Gunners manager Arsene Wenger expects Walcott to be available for Wednesday's Champions League match against Olympiacos.
Alex Song is suspended for the showdown at the Emirates Stadium but right-back Bacary Sagna has recovered from his ankle injury.
Gael Clichy (back), Abou Diaby (calf) and Nicklas Bendtner (groin) are still missing, as are Johan Djourou (knee), Kieran Gibbs (foot) and Robin van Persie (ankle).
Stoke, 1-0 winners when they were last in London at Tottenham, have lost just once in seven premier League games, keeping clean sheets in their last two.
Stoke will give a late fitness test to central defender Ryan Shawcross ahead of Saturday's trip to face Arsenal.
The 22-year-old has a groin injury that forced him off in last weekend's 0-0 draw at Blackburn, and is considered a major doubt for the trip to the Emirates.
Stoke are without midfielder Dean Whitehead, who is suspended. Potters boss Tony Pulis also has four other players - Ricardo Fuller, Robert Huth, Glenn Whelan and Shawcross - all one booking away from a ban.
