Arsene Wenger says his team cannot afford to take Leicester City lightly on Tuesday.
Arsenal suffered a first defeat in six games when losing the north London derby 2-1 at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
Leicester come into Tuesday's match at the bottom of the Premier League table and the Arsenal manager is demanding a strong response from his team.
"We had a very strong run just before Saturday. We just want to continue that and respond very strongly to the disappointment"
"[Leicester] look like a team who plays in the Premier League and fights to survive in the Premier League," Wenger said. "That means it demands a complete focus from us and that we respond very strongly to our defeat on Saturday.
"We had a very strong run just before Saturday. We just want to continue that and respond very strongly to the disappointment.
“It's about performance on the day and because the Premier League is tight, the difference between the teams is very small.
"If you look at the table, nobody [near the bottom of the league is] definitely out of the fight, so I think all the teams who are down there and fighting to survive can stay up."
