Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to risk Robin van Persie's fitness during the festive period.
Arsenal face Wolves at home on Tuesday before entertaining QPR on New Year's Eve.
"Can he start three games in seven days? We will see. It will be a big demand for him. I don't know yet, we will assess the situation after every game," Wenger said.
"You get his vibes, the medical vibes and you know the history with him. Then you make a decision.
"I rested him it in the Champions League because I thought we had enough security there and we could take a gamble."
