Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger goes into Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round tie at home to Aston Villa under some pressure after he was booed by his own fans during last weekend's 2-1 defeat to Manchester United.
However, Alex McLeish could also do with a decent Cup run as he contends with discontent from the Villa faithful.
The Gunners are expected to give late fitness tests to Thierry Henry, Mikel Arteta and Bacary Sagna ahead of the match at the Emirates Stadium.
Francis Coquelin has given Wenger some welcome injury relief as he returns to contention following a hamstring problem.
Gabriel Agbonlahor has recovered from an illness in time for the match, while Stephen Ireland could also be named in the squad after a hamstring injury.
Robbie Keane is likely to start up front for Villa following his two goals in last weekend's 3-2 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Current form:
Arsenal: WDWLLL
Aston Villa: LDWLDW
Possible lineups:
Arsenal: Szczesny; Yennaris, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Coquelin; Benayoun, Song, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Van Persie, Walcott
Aston Villa: Given; Warnock, Collins, Dunne; Albrighton, Petrov, Ireland, Bannan, Agbonlahor; Bent, Keane
Sports Mole says: 2-1
