Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says his side will not be lacking in confidence for Monday's big game against Chelsea at the Emirates (Sky Sports 1, 8.00pm).
The Gunners remain top of the table but their lead is down to two points, following last Saturday's 6-3 hammering at Manchester City.
That defeat followed a 2-0 Champions League loss at Napoli, although that was not enough to prevent Arsenal from reaching the knock-out stages.
Wenger said: "They (recent results) have been disappointing for us but I don't think they have affected the morale.
"We have made good results until now because we have a good solidarity level and a good togetherness in the squad, and I don't see any sign of that dropping.
"I think even more that the players are focused to respond on Monday night.
"It can happen in a season when sometimes you have a bit of a weaker period. How you respond to this kind of problem is what matters."
