Arsenal are back in Europa League action tonight as they travel to take on Slavia Prague in the second leg of their quarter-final clash.

The Gunners drew 1-1 in the first leg last week, failing to hang on to a 1-0 lead as Tomas Holes bagged a late equaliser.

That goal could be vital, as Slavia now have an away goal; a 0-0 draw in Prague tonight and they go through to the semi-finals in a shock run.

Arsenal must score tonight, and Mikel Arteta will be expected to guide the Gunners into the last four; nothing else will be accepted.

Arteta has plenty of decisions to make with his team selection; do Hector Bellerin and Cedric Soares come back in? Does Emile Smith Rowe start? Is Bukayo Saka going to e risked?

He also has to decide whether or not to start midfielder Dani Ceballos, who turned in a superb performance against Sheffield United on Sunday night.

Ceballos has decided to post a rousing tweet to supporters ahead of the game, quoting Winston Churchill in a somewhat bizarre message.

Still, it looks like Ceballos – who is still only on loan from Real Madrid – is passionate about tonight’s game, and Arsenal fans will hope that he can play a big part in sending Arsenal through to the last four.
