Fresh from their Premier League triumph at Anfield at the weekend, Arsenal return to Champions League duty on Wednesday night when they travel to Slavia Prague.
The Gunners tightened their hold on top spot in the English top flight by claiming their first league win away at Liverpool since 2012, with a hard-fought 1-0 victory on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s men now turn their attention back to Europe, having taken seven points from their opening three matches.
Last season’s runners-up began with a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Napoli, followed by a 3-0 victory over Lille and a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich.
That spells trouble for Slavia Prague, who have already lost to Lens and Sabah, although they did claim a 2-2 draw away at Fenerbahce on matchday three.
Closer to home, things are going much better for Jindrich Trpisovsky’s team, who sit seven points clear at the top of the Czech First League after thrashing Jablonec 5-0 at the weekend.
How the bookies view it: Arsenal on easy street
Given the gulf in quality, it is no surprise that bet365 make Arsenal short-priced 1/4 favourites to claim maximum points in the Czech capital.
Slavia Prague are 9/1 to spring a surprise, while the draw is also considered unlikely at 11/2.
Head to head: Advantage Arsenal
Arsenal are unbeaten in five meetings with Slavia Prague, winning three and drawing two.
The Gunners ran out comfortable 3-0 winners in the Czech capital when the sides last met in the Champions League last November, and a repeat of that scoreline here is priced at 7/1 with bet365.
Players to watch: Keep an eye out for Eze
Having scored in Arsenal’s last two Champions League matches against Lille and Bayern Munich, Eberechi Eze looks worth backing at 20/21 with bet365 to register a goal or an assist against Slavia Prague on Wednesday night.
Provided he’s fit to play, Lukas Provod looks good value at 6/5 with bet365 to fire two or more shots during this contest. The Slavia Prague midfielder has racked up a sizeable 11 efforts across his side’s last two Champions League games.
Predicted line-ups
Slavia Prague have fitness concerns over Lukas Provod and Ange N’Guessan, while Ivan Schranz could also miss out through illness.
Arsenal are expected to be without Bukayo Saka and William Saliba through injury, but Max Dowman is back in contention after serving the first game of a three-match domestic ban at the weekend.
Slavia Prague: Domchak; Vlcek, Holes, Zima; Suleiman, Moses, Sadilek, Kubiak; Ayaosi, Sturm; Nowak
Arsenal: Raya; White, Konsa, Gabriel, Hincapie; Lewis-Skelly, Rice; Dowman, Odegaard, Eze; Gyokeres
Anything else catch the eye?
Arsenal are too short to back on their own, but pairing an away win with under 3.5 goals lifts the price to 21/20 with bet365.
That bet would have paid out in both of Arsenal’s Champions League wins this season, all eight of their Premier League victories this term and their 3-0 success at this venue last season.
BTTS No is also worth a look at 4/5, having landed in seven of the Gunners’ last 11 games in all competitions.
