Latest team news for Slavia Prague vs Arsenal
A familiar but unfortunate story for Arsenal fans: Arteta's team couldn't leave Turf Moor without a setback, as Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyökeres both had to leave the field due to injury in the win against Burnley.
The severity of both injuries is yet to be determined, but Zubimendi will certainly be absent due to a suspension for accumulating too many yellow cards in the Champions League.
Christian Nørgaard is likely to make his first European start, while Mikel Merino could be moved up to the forward line to replace Gyökeres.
Gabriel Martinelli – who has scored in every Champions League match this season – will also be sidelined due to a muscle injury, along with Martin Ødegaard (knee), Noni Madueke (knee), Gabriel Jesus (knee) and Kai Havertz (knee).
On Slavia Prague's side, coach Trpisovsky is grappling with a long injury list ahead of the match against Arsenal: Ivan Schranz (muscle), Filip Horsky (anterior cruciate ligament), Petr Sevcik (anterior cruciate ligament), Dominik Javorcek (knee), Tomas Holes (knee), Igoh Ogbu (hamstring), and captain Jan Boril (cause unknown) are all unavailable.
With Boril absent, playmaker Lukas Provod will wear the captain's armband and play in the number 10 position, while former Luton Town defender Daiki Hashioka is likely to start from the bench.

Latest football match prediction: Slavia Prague vs Arsenal
Unfortunate for many teams, but the number 13 proved lucky for Arsenal in their match against Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium, where Mikel Arteta's men unleashed four goals against Diego Simeone's disorganized defense in just 13 minutes.
A familiar set-piece goal from Gabriel Magalhães opened the floodgates, before Gabriel Martinelli scored and Viktor Gyökeres completed his brace, sealing a demolition in North London. This victory helped Arsenal maintain their perfect record and not concede a single goal in the group stage.
Arsenal are one of only two teams to have kept a clean sheet in the Champions League this season, alongside Inter Milan. They currently sit fourth in their group, behind Inter, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain — a position that would secure them direct qualification to the round of 16.
Under Arteta, Arsenal rarely struggle in the early stages of the Champions League. They have now won seven consecutive group stage matches and remain unbeaten in their last 10 encounters with Czech Republic teams in European competitions, winning eight of them.
Arteta's winning machine is also running smoothly in the Premier League. Saturday's 2-0 victory over Burnley was their ninth consecutive win, their seventh consecutive clean sheet, and helped Arsenal solidify their position at the top of the table.
Arsenal's chances of winning both the Premier League and the Champions League are becoming very realistic, while Slavia Prague's European ambitions are much more modest – they are simply looking for their first win in the group stage this season.
Jindrich Trpisovsky's team has only managed 2 points after 3 matches, including a dramatic 2-2 draw with Bodo/Glimt, a 0-3 defeat against Inter Milan, and most recently, a courageous draw away at Atalanta.
In the third matchday, both Slavia and Atalanta had numerous scoring opportunities, but the goalkeepers performed brilliantly, resulting in one of the most exciting 0-0 draws of this year's Champions League season.
With just two points, Slavia are 28th out of 36 teams, but their defeat against Inter was their only loss in all competitions this season. Recently, Slavia have also shown improvement in their defensive capabilities.
In fact, the Czech capital team has kept a clean sheet in 5 consecutive matches across all competitions, most recently a 2-0 victory against Banik Ostrava, which helped them reclaim the top spot from their arch-rivals Sparta Prague.
On the attacking front, Slavia have only failed to score in 1 of their last 27 home European cup matches, but in their four previous encounters with Arsenal, they have never won. The most recent meeting was in the 2020–21 Europa League quarter-finals, where they were thrashed 4-0 by Arsenal in the second leg.
