Arsenal fans are urging their side not to mess things up, after being presented with what looks an excellent opportunity to progress against Slavia Prague.
News came out yesterday suggesting that Slavia defender Simon Deli now won’t be fit (official website).
It leaves Arsenal’s opponents with only one fit central defender, and potentially their first choice goalkeeper injured.
And Arsenal fans are quietly optimistic about their chances to progress.
Even with so many injuries Slavia are likely to provide a stubborn opponent.
The Czech side are always a combative and hard-working opponent and Arsenal will have to improve to progress.
The Gunners were in awful form against Liverpool in their last outing, and a similar display on Thursday would be a disaster.
Arsenal’s season effectively comes down to the Europa League now, as their performances in the Premier League have left them looking destined for a mid-table place.
