Arsenal takes on Slavia Prague in the Champions League, aiming to maintain their 100% record and climb to the top of the league phase table

Arsenal are set to face Slavia Prague in the Champions League, looking to continue their impressive form and climb to the top of the league phase table.

The Gunners are currently sitting pretty at the summit of the Premier League standings, having thumped Atletico Madrid 4-0 in their last outing.

Mikel Arteta’s team has been in excellent form, boasting a 100% record after three Champions League games. They are one of five teams to achieve this feat and are considered competition favourites heading into the game against Slavia Prague, who have two points from three games.

With a tricky trip to Sunderland coming up on Saturday evening, Arteta may make several changes in Prague. Viktor Gyokeres is a doubt due to a knock, while Martin Zubimendi has suffered a fitness issue and is suspended for this game.

Mikel Merino could deputise up front, with Christian Norgaard set to make his first Champions League start.

Gabriel Martinelli remains sidelined, so Leandro Trossard should get the nod on the wing, with Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze completing the trio in support of Merino.

Arsenal’s recent form has been impressive, with five consecutive victories in all competitions, including a 2-0 win at Burnley and a 4-0 triumph over Atletico Madrid. They have won all three of their European fixtures without conceding, scoring eight goals in the process.
