Arsenal head to Slavia Prague tonight. Get all the team news here…
Arsenal will look to maintain their formidable form in the Czech Republic tonight when they take on Slavia Prague.
Mikel Arteta’s men have opened up a six-point gap at the top of the Premier League and have yet to drop a point in the Champions League.
That excellence has been built around a defence that has kept seven consecutive clean sheets.
Slavia cannot quite match Arsenal’s run of more than 11 hours without conceding but the reigning Czech champions have kept five clean sheets in a row in all competitions, beating third-bottom Banik 2-0 at home on Saturday to stand level on points with Sparta Prague at the summit of the domestic league.
