Predicted Arsenal Lineup vs Slavia Prague - Champions League
Arsenal face Slavia Prague in the Champions League tonight, aiming to maintain their flawless start to the European season. The Gunners recently beat Burnley 2-0, extending their Premier League lead to six points.
Viktor Gyökeres scored early to give Slavia the lead, but Declan Rice secured the win with a powerful header. Although this European match is significant, Mikel Arteta is expected to rotate his squad due to both tactical decisions and ongoing injury problems.
Possible Arsenal Starting XI
- David Raya (GK) – With Kepa Arrizabalaga unavailable, Raya will start in goal again despite the chance to rest him.
- Ben White (RB) – After being behind Jurrien Timber this season, White gets an opportunity to impress at right back.
- William Saliba (CB) – Likely to start, Saliba is preferred over Cristhian Mosquera in central defense tonight.
- Piero Hincapié (CB) – Following his full debut against Brighton, Hincapié will once more feature from the start to accumulate valuable playing time.
"Viktor Gyökeres' quick reactions allowed him to put his side ahead from close range before Declan Rice doubled the advantage with a thumping header."
Arteta faces the challenge of managing injuries while navigating a crucial Champions League fixture.
Arsenal seeks to balance squad rotation and injury setbacks as they pursue continued success in Europe.
