Arsenal can strengthen their hold on a top-eight place in the Champions League when they visit Slavia Praha at the Fortuna Arena (Sinobo Stadium) on Wednesday 4 November 2026. Kick-off is at 20:00 UK time.
It is league phase matchday 4, and the two clubs sit a long way apart.
Two ends of the table
Arsenal are seventh with 7 points from three games. They have won two, drawn one and have a goal difference of +4. The top eight go straight through to the last 16.
Slavia are 32nd. They have played three, won none and have 1 point, with a goal difference of -3. Only the clubs in the top 24 stay in the competition, so the hosts need results soon. Slovan Bratislava are 36th with no points and a goal difference of -12.
Form and the numbers
Slavia's recent results make hard reading. They lost 3-2 to Lens, lost 2-0 away to Sabah and drew 2-2 at Fenerbahçe. That is 1 point from a possible 9.
Arsenal have won 1-0 at Napoli, beaten Lille 3-0 and drawn 2-2 at Bayern.
