Arsenal is set to face Slavia Prague in the Champions League, a match that could be intense given their past encounters. Arsenal has performed well this season, winning 12 of their first 15 matches. The match is at the Fortuna Arena, a venue known for its hostile atmosphere. Slavia Prague is likely to seek revenge after Arsenal's past victories.

Tobias Stieler has been appointed as the referee for the match by UEFA. Stieler is a FIFA-listed referee since 2014, primarily officiating in the Bundesliga. He has limited experience with Arsenal, having officiated only two of their games. In those games, he issued two yellow cards but no red cards or penalties.

Stieler's team for the match includes Lasse Koslowski and Jonas Weickenmeier as assistant referees, with Harm Osmers as the fourth official. Soren Storks will be in charge of the VAR, assisted by Johann Pfeifer. Stieler has also officiated three Slavia Prague games, issuing five yellow cards and one red card.

How we label and update stories

Source context

Arsenal's pursuit of European glory continues on Wednesday night when they visit Slavia Prague at the Fortuna Arena in the Champions League. Aside from an embarrassing defeat at Fleetwood and an off-day against Brighton, the Gunners have started the new campaign spectacularly, winning 12 of their first 15 matches across all competitions. Mikel Arteta's men are on course for another fine season, although the Spaniard needs to carefully manage his squad over the coming months to ensure they don't burn out towards the end of the campaign, like they almost did last term. Prague has been a happy stomping ground for Arsenal in recent times, and thus, their players will be delighted to return to the picturesque Czech city.
