Team News
Slavia Prague
Slavia Prague are dealing with a significant injury crisis. Manager Jindřich Trpišovský is missing a long list of players for this game. This includes key figures like captain Jan Boril, Tomas Holes, and Igoh Ogbu. However, creative midfielder Lukas Provod is fit. He will be expected to lead the side in their absence.
Arsenal
Arsenal’s squad is also stretched thin by injuries. First, Mikel Arteta will be without key midfielder Martin Zubimendi, who must serve a suspension. Furthermore, captain Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus are all unavailable due to injury. To make matters worse, attackers Viktor Gyökeres and Gabriel Martinelli are also major doubts after picking up muscular issues over the weekend.
Form Guide
Slavia Prague
Slavia Prague are yet to win in the Champions League. They have only managed two draws from their first three games. Domestically, however, they remain a dominant force at the top of the Czech First League. They should also arrive with some confidence after a 4-0 cup win over Zlín last week.
Arsenal
Arsenal are in flawless form. Their 2-0 win at Burnley on Saturday marked their ninth consecutive victory in all competitions. Crucially, it was also their seventh straight clean sheet. In the Champions League, their record is perfect, with three wins, zero goals conceded, and a +9 goal difference.
Predicted Lineups
Slavia Prague predicted XI: Markovic; Zima, Chaloupek, Vlceck; Moses, Oscar, Zafeiris, Mbodji; Provod; Chory, Chytil
Arsenal predicted XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Nwaneri, Norgaard, Rice; Saka, Merino, Trossard
