Arsenal have it all to do tonight as they battle Slavia Prague in the critical second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie.

A late away goal has handed the Czech side an advantage after some typically sloppy defending from the Gunners. It was the seventh straight European game in which Arsenal have conceded, a run they must halt to have any hope of advancing in the competition.

And winning the Europa League is Arsenal’s only chance of reaching next season’s Champions League, but Slavia Prague - with just one loss in 10 in Europe - will fancy their chances this evening.

Date, time and venue

Slavia Prague vs Arsenal is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off tonight - Thursday, April 15, 2021.

Live stream: BT Sport subscribers will be able to watch the match online via the website or BT Sport app.

Slavia Prague vs Arsenal team news

Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe have both been passed fit for Arsenal in a major boost to Mikel Arteta following thigh and ankle issues respectively.

However, Martin Odegaard (ankle) and captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (illness) remain doubtful, while defenders Kieran Tierney and David Luiz (both knee) are still sidelined.

Slavia will remain without defender Ondrej Kudela, who has now been handed a 10-match Uefa ban for racist behaviour after being found guilty of racially abusing Rangers’ Glen Kamara.

Arsenal predicted XI: Leno; Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Cedric; Partey, Xhaka; Saka, Smith Rowe, Pepe; Lacazette.

Prediction: Slavia Prague 1-2 Arsenal

Arsenal got the warning they needed by conceding a late away goal in the first leg, which should give them the scare they need to see out the job. An early goal in the second leg will settle some nerves.
