From the source

Just 72 hours after downing Liverpool at Anfield, Arsenal travel to the Czech Republic to take on Slavia Prague in the Champions League. The Gunners, riding high from their historic victory on Merseyside, will be looking to get back to winning ways in Europe when they visit the Fortuna Arena for the second year running.

Mikel Arteta's men were held by Bayern Munich at the Allianz in their last continental outing, so they will be eager to secure all three points on Wednesday night to ensure they don't slip out of the running for the top eight.

Difficult matches against Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid come after the international break, so it's imperative that they emerge from Prague with a victory. A sturdy Hull City await at the Emirates on Saturday, so Arteta must rotate heavily for this one.
