Slavia vs Arsenal team news and expert analysis
The Prague club managed to defend the league title they won in 2025 last spring. They have already pulled clear of all their rivals this season as well. In London, Arsenal finally managed to win the Premier League, finishing ahead of Manchester City. They also thrashed City in the Community Shield during the summer, but their rivals made a perfect start to the new Premier League campaign.
The Czechs began their European campaign with defeats. First, a match at home against Lens that had seemed destined to end in victory finished 2-3 after the visitors scored twice in the 90+ minute. They then went down 0-2 to Sabah in Baku without offering much resistance. However, they surprised everyone in Istanbul: after conceding twice by the 11th minute, they fought back to earn a draw with the equaliser arriving just before the final whistle.
The English giants opened their campaign with an away win over Napoli, thanks to Ødegaard's only goal of the match. There were no problems against Lille in October, as Arsenal ran out 3-0 winners. However, Bayern Munich were their next opponents. Arsenal managed to avoid defeat by levelling the score late on.
