Arsenal will hope to extend their incredible winning streak when they face Slavia Prague in one of Tuesday’s early Champions League kickoffs.
The Gunners would make it 10 wins in a row if they triumph at the Fortuna Arena.
Arsenal sit pretty at the top of the Premier League table, six points separating them from second-placed Manchester City.
Mikel Arteta’s charges are one of five Champions League teams with a perfect record in the competition, and they’re yet to concede a goal.
Furthermore, Arsenal are also in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.
Needless to say, it’s a great time to be an Arsenal fan right now, and they will be hoping for more of the same against the Czech league leaders.
While Slavia are doing well domestically, they’re yet to win in the Champions League, though they have claimed one draw in the competition.
Arsenal team news vs Slavia Prague
Worryingly for Arsenal, they will be without a number of key players for the trip to Czechia.
Martin Zubimendi is suspended after already picking up three yellow cards in this season’s Champions League.
The midfielder is expected to be joined on the sidelines by Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres.

Gazette result prediction
Despite having a number of key players missing, Arsenal should still be able to record a routine win thanks to their impressive strength in depth.
We predict a 2-0 win for Arteta’s charges en route to the top of the Champions League table, for a few hours at least.
