A week on from their humiliation at the hands of fourth-tier Fleetwood Town, Arsenal travel to Czechia wary of another banana skin against Slavia Prague.
On paper, this should be a straightforward Champions League fixture for last season’s finalists. Slavia may be leading their domestic top flight but boast just a single point from this year’s league phase. The capital club was even humbled by competition debutants Sabah FK, who earned a famous 2–0 win in Azerbaijan last month.
However, Mikel Arteta’s defending Premier League champions were recently reminded of the fickle fates of this wildly unpredictable sport. Despite dominating almost every aspect of their Carabao Cup tie, the Gunners still lost to Fleetwood on penalties last week.
“This is football,” Arteta shrugged, “that’s the beauty.” It wouldn’t take as seismic a shock for Arsenal to be punished again in Prague.
