The league stage is four rounds old, and Mikel Arteta's side sit ninth on seven points, inside the play-off places but outside the automatic qualifiers.
Slavia Praha have no such cushion. They are winless in three Champions League games and face a side that beat them 3-0 on this ground exactly a year ago.

ArsenalHow they got here
Slavia are yet to win. They lost 3-2 at home to Lens, went down 2-0 at Sabah, then drew 2-2 away at Fenerbahçe on 20 October. Their form reads LLD, with 4 goals scored and 7 conceded.
Arsenal have won two and drawn one. They won 1-0 at Napoli, beat Lille 3-0 at home on 13 October, then drew 2-2 at Bayern München on 21 October. Only two goals have been conceded in three games.
Rotation context
Arsenal's league-stage position makes a full-strength side the sensible choice. Seven points leaves them in the play-off places, and a win would put them firmly in the chase for the top eight. Expect few changes from the team that drew at Bayern.
Slavia have more to prove than to protect. Several players are missing, and the hosts will have to build a back line and midfield from a thinner squad than they would like.
