Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says Wednesday's Carabao Cup tie against AFC Wimbledon is an opportunity for players to show they "deserve" to play.
The Gunners suffered a difficult start to the season, losing their first three league games without scoring, but have since claimed back-to-back victories.
"[We must] focus. Focus, demand the highest standards, prepare the same way or even better," said Arteta.
"I hope that we can expect goals from our side."
AFC Wimbledon have been involved in 28 goals in eight games this term - the most in League One - scoring 15 and conceding 13.
