Slavia Prague host Arsenal in the second leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final tie, with both teams looking to progress to the semis.
The first leg ended 1-1 after Nicolas Pepe's goal was canceled out by Tomas Holes' equalizer in the 93rd minute of the game.
Slavia Prague scored a crucial away goal at the Emirates Stadium and will be confident of their chances of winning the tie.
Jindrich Tripisovsky's side have been in unbelievable form this season and are currently on a 23-game unbeaten streak across all competitions.
Arsenal are heading to Prague off the back of a 3-0 win against Sheffield United in the Premier League at the weekend. The Gunners' form has stuttered of late, having won only one of their last five games across all competitions.
The tie is perfectly balanced, with either team capable of advancing to the semi-finals of the competition
