Preamble
Since dropping at Anfield on the final day of August, Arsenal have received 10 out of 11 video games in all competitions. They've received their final eight matches on the bounce, and their final seven wins have come with out conceding a single purpose. The final time they achieved eight clear sheets in a row, in 1903, Arsenal had been a second-tier aspect based mostly in Woolwich.
Standing in the way in which of historical past tonight are Slavia Prague, who sit twenty eighth on the massive Champions League ladder with two factors and two targets in three video games; their guests are in third place with three wins from three (and no targets conceded, naturally). The Czech champions are additionally fairly strong defensively, conceding eight targets in 14 video games throughout an unbeaten begin to their league marketing campaign.
Look, I've been within the dwell running a blog sport for just a few years now, and I can't recall many conclusions as foregone as this one: Arsenal are absolutely destined to win this sport two- or three-nil, not often venturing out of second gear earlier than a harder run of fixtures – Sunderland (A), Spurs (H), Bayern (H) and Chelsea (A) – additional assessments their resolve.
Nonetheless, that is soccer and you'll by no means make sure. Any given Tuesday (early) night, and all of that. Kick-off on the Eden Enviornment is at 5.45pm GMT; group information to comply with.
