Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are back in Champions League action this evening
Arsenal Football Newsletter
Arsenal face Slavia Prague this evening in the first Champions League meeting between the two sides in nearly 18 years.
The Gunners go into the game in stunning form. They beat Burnley 2-0 at the weekend to claim a ninth straight win across all competitions, and have kept seven successive clean sheets in the process.
Mikel Arteta’s side are big favourites to continue their winning run and maintain their perfect start to this season’s League Phase.
Prague, meanwhile, have picked up just two points from their opening three Champions League fixtures, drawing at home to Bodo/Glimt and Atalanta while losing away at Inter Milan.
The Czech side have only lost one game so far this season and are expected to provide a stern test for the Gunners as they seek revenge for the 4-0 Europa League quarter-final second leg loss back in April 2021.
When these two sides last met in the Champions League group phase on November 7, 2007, it finished goalless as an Arsenal side including Theo Walcott, Emmanuel Adebayor and Eduardo could not find a breakthrough.
