Arsenal will aim to take a commanding step towards the Champions League knockout rounds tonight when they travel to face Slavia Prague.
The Gunners have been flawless in Europe so far. In fact, they have won their first three group games without conceding a single goal. A fourth straight win here would mark their best start to a European campaign since the 2005-06 season.
Furthermore, Mikel Arteta’s side is currently on a nine-match winning streak in all competitions. They also boast an unbeaten record in ten historical meetings with Czech teams, keeping eight clean sheets in the process. Therefore, despite a growing injury list, they will be strong favourites to secure another victory and continue their dominant run.
Arsenal team news
Mikel Arteta faces a selection headache, especially in midfield and attack. The Gunners will be without the suspended Martin Zubimendi for this match. In addition, captain Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, and Noni Madueke all remain sidelined with long-term knee injuries.
Unfortunately, the problems worsened at Burnley. Both Viktor Gyökeres and Gabriel Martinelli picked up muscle injuries. They are now major doubts for this clash. Consequently, Mikel Merino may be asked to play as a makeshift striker. Meanwhile, Christian Nørgaard is set to make his first-ever Champions League start in Zubimendi’s absence.
Arsenal predicted lineup
Possible Arsenal starting XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Nwaneri, Norgaard, Rice; Saka, Merino, Trossard
