Arsenal got back to winning ways with a 3-0 win over Sheffield United but beating a team rock bottom of the Premier League will hardly have papered over the cracks of their calamitous season. Their Spanish coach will know he has only one shot at redemption and that is to win the Europa League. If they are going to beat the types of opponents they'll face in the semis and the final, they need to build some confidence with a convincing win over Slavia Prague in Thursday's second leg. The Gunners will be without David Luiz and Kieran Tierney through injury but should be able to call on Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith-Rowe which will give them an attacking boost.
Slavia Prague are having much different fortunes. Their 2-0 victory over local rivals Sparta at the weekend underlined their domestic dominance and stretched their lead at the top of the table to 18 points. While many will play down the significance of doing well in the Czech league, it has seemingly given them immense confidence - confidence which saw them dispatch Leicester, a team much better than Arsenal, earlier in the tournament. They proved that wasn't a fluke by then eliminating Rangers and by getting a 1-1 draw away in London in the first leg.
They are the real deal and if Arsenal don't wake up to that fact they will be punished
Prediction: Slavia Prague 2-1 Arsenal (Agg: 3-2)
