Form and Line-up Slavia Prague
Slavia Prague have won their last two matches by an aggregate score of 9:0, first thrashing Zbrojovka Brno 4:0 at home in the Czech Cup, then beating Jablonec 5:0 away in the league. Their defence has struggled at European level, however. In Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League league phase, they drew 2:2 with Fenerbahce in Istanbul. The positive is that this was the Czech champions’ first point in the competition.

Form and Line-up Arsenal
Last Sunday, Arsenal moved top of the Premier League after winning 1:0 away to Liverpool and capitalising on Manchester City dropping points.

But they have not always managed to win and keep a clean sheet in the UEFA Champions League: in the previous league-phase round, Mikel Arteta’s side could only draw 2:2 with Bayern Munich in Munich.
- Arsenal have avoided defeat in normal time in 9 of their last 10 matches across all official competitions.
- Arsenal have scored at least one goal in 9 of their last 10 matches across all official competitions.
