Alex Song maintains Arsenal must not lose focus on the challenges ahead despite their disappointment at allowing Leyton Orient to force the Gunners into an FA Cup fifth-round replay.
"We need to be focussed because we have one game coming soon, which we need to win for the Premier League, and then we have the Carling Cup final next week. It's always very difficult when you play one big game (Barcelona), and when you come back you play a team you are supposed to beat," he said, referring to the Orient game.
After a hectic January, the Gunners will now set off on a run of five games in 14 days, including the Carling Cup final, their replay against Orient on March 2 and the second leg of the Champions League tie against Barcelona.
They host Stoke in a rearranged Premier League game tonight, when they will be looking to close the gap on leaders Man Utd, potential FA Cup quarter-final opponents.
