Despite going well domestically with back-to-back wins by a 9-0 aggregate scoreline, Slavia have struggled in the Champions League.
They are yet to win in the league phase and are currently outside the qualifying places.
Jindrich Trpisovsky will do well to change that against Arsenal, who were Champions League finalists last season.
Samuel Isife and Lukas Provod are also injury concerns for the hosts, and they are very much underdogs.
As for Arsenal, they bounced back from a shock defeat on penalties to League Two Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup with a historic victory at Anfield.
The Gunners are now three points clear at the top of the table and on course to win back-to-back titles for the first time in the Premier League era.
Mikel Arteta has done an incredible job, and he could go down in the club's history as the first manager to win the Champions League too.
They came so close by losing to Paris Saint-Germain in the final last season, and they look like they could go all the way again.

Arsenal are 31/100 (1.31) favourites, but while we agree with the bookies, we want to explore other bets, and you can too using our BetMGM bonus code.
Given the Gunners' brilliant defence, BTTS – No at 17/20 (1.85) stands out, while Under 2.5 goals at 6/4 (2.50) reflects the fact both teams have conceded just three goals in their last five games.
With Kai Havertz ending his goal drought against Liverpool, Havertz to score anytime at 23/20 (2.15) is our final punt.
