Sparta Prague-Arsenal Preview

Champion's League Football is back again! Well, almost. We've got Sparta Prague in the 3rd round qualifiers in Prague tonight. It's the first of two legs and the away leg is always very important. An away goal is two times better than one at home, so we'll be looking to come out on top to take an advantage back to the Grove.

Injury Report: Eduardo Da Silva, Gilberto, Diaby, Adebayor, and Denilson will miss the match due to injury.

So if I had to guess I'd say our lineup will probably look like the one vs Fulham:

Lehmann
Sagna-Toure-Gallas(c)-Clichy
Eboue-Flamini-Fabregas-Rosicky
Hleb
Van Persie


On the bench it'll probably be Walcott, Senderos, Almunia, Bendtner, Song, then maybe some of the young guys like Mark Randall for the other two, who knows.

Prague is a team we really should beat. Even with two of our top midfielders and two forwards out, I think we should have them well beaten. Arsenal has rolled through the qualifiers and group stages lately so I expect a win.

My score prediction: 0-2 to the Arsenal.

Tell me your prediction. Match report tonight or tomorrow. Cheers.
