Arsenal will travel to Czech First League side Slavia Prague for their fourth Champions League match in the 2025/26 season. Mikel Arteta stated in a press conference that keeping a clean sheet was crucial for victory and urged his team to deliver an even better performance to win the game.

In the last round of the Champions League, Arsenal defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0 at the Emirates Stadium after goals from Gabriel, Martinelli, and Dzekeresh. Arsenal currently sits in 4th place in the Champions League standings with 9 points.

It is worth mentioning that Arsenal have kept a clean sheet in their last 7 matches across all competitions, and their overall morale is very high.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said, "This is excellent right now. The team's overall organization is very strong, and the players' attitude in defense, whether it's energy, intelligence, or aggression on every possession, is a key factor in our success."

“A clean sheet is a crucial foundation for winning in this competition, especially when playing away. We know we will face a very tough challenge tomorrow; they play at a high tempo, press hard, and attack quickly. We must perform exceptionally well to achieve the team's goals.”

In addition, Arteta said, "We have maintained a good competitive record in different competitions, and we know that tomorrow will still be a tough battle, as our opponents are unbeaten at home so far this season."

"This is a team that is very used to playing together. They have a very clear philosophy and can create a great home atmosphere, so we know very well that this will be a very difficult game."
