Mathieu Flamini has urged Arsenal to forget about events of the past week and focus completely on continuing their Barclays Premier League title charge by putting Birmingham to the sword.
The Gunners resume their domestic campaign five points ahead of Manchester United, who are at Newcastle for the early evening kick-off.
Arsene Wenger was confident his young side would provide a reaction to their 4-0 FA Cup demolition at Old Trafford last Saturday - and he certainly got that against Champions League holders AC Milan in midweek, a determined display just lacking a goal.
Midfielder Flamini insists everyone will now swiftly turn their attentions to getting another victory at St Andrews to stay on course for the title.
"There was a little bit of pressure on us against Milan after the Manchester United game, but we like that," Flamini said.
"We are sorry for everyone, the fans, for that result, and we are disappointed we did not beat Milan - but now we have to focus on Saturday, when we play Birmingham, and we have to win that game."
Arsenal head into tomorrow's lunchtime kick-off without defender Kolo Toure, who suffered a calf injury just minutes into Wednesday night's game against Milan.
The Ivory Coast centre-half had only just returned from the African Nations Cup, but now looks set to be sidelined for at least two weeks.
Wenger revealed: "For me on Wednesday night, it looked like he would be out for two to four weeks. The way he was walking perhaps four - but now the medical staff said to me it would be closer to two than four."
While Toure could recover in time for the return leg of Arsenal's Champions League tie in the San Siro on March 4, Wenger maintains he will not be pushing Robin van Persie into a swift return.
The 24-year-old has been plagued by fitness problems all season, having opened the campaign in fine form.
Van Persie last appeared for the Gunners in the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final against Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium on January 9, but he was substituted at the interval.
Wenger has no intentions of rushing the Dutchman this time.
The Arsenal manager said: "Robin is not a very long away from being fit at all, but he lacks match-practice.
