Slavia Prague - Arsenal

Danijel Sturm enters this Champions League matchday 4 encounter at Fortuna Arena in clinical form, having spearheaded a dominant 5-0 victory over Jablonec on 31 October 2026. Slavia Prague have shown significant attacking intent in recent weeks, including a 4-0 cup win against FC Zbrojovka Brno, though they will need that momentum to overcome a challenging European campaign. With Lukas Provod and Emmanuel Ayaosi expected to anchor the midfield, the hosts aim to disrupt the rhythm of their visitors in front of a home crowd.

Arsenal arrive in Prague following a hard-fought 1-0 win against Liverpool on 1 November 2026, maintaining a robust defensive shape despite the high-impact absence of Bukayo Saka. Kai Havertz and Noni Madueke lead an expected XI tasked with controlling proceedings, building on a strong run that includes a 3-0 victory over Lille. Having previously secured a 3-0 win here in November 2025, the visitors will look to exploit their tactical discipline to navigate this away fixture.
