Arsenal almost have 'no weakness', admits Prague ace

'I play FIFA with my brother and I buy all the Arsenal players for my team, because they are incredible, says Slavia defender David Doudera

ARSENAL are a side with "almost no weaknesses", Slavia Prague midfielder David Doudera believes.

The Gunners head into Tuesday's Champions League match in the Czech capital in sensational form, having won nine games in a row in all competitions and keeping clean sheets in the last seven of those.

Slavia themselves can be tough opponents, though, and have not conceded in their last five games either and sit top of the Czech First League unbeaten in their opening 14 matches.

Doudera says it is difficult to pick out any area where the Premier League leaders lack strength.

"It's a very difficult task - they have almost no weaknesses," he said. "They have the form, it comes easy to them, it is very difficult to find anything to surprise them with. If you want to attack, they use it to their benefit and they strike. I play FIFA with my brother and I buy all the Arsenal players for my team, because they are incredible."

Slavia coach Jindrich Trpisovsky echoed his player's words and added: "If I had to say what the dangers are of this team I would be here for more than two hours. They are a well-developed team, they have games under control, they have a lot of technical quality with big, fast, strong players.

"Inter (Milan, who Slavia lost to in their second Champions League match) were strong at set-pieces, but Arsenal are stronger. They are a top team with the best sporting level, the best fitness and the best evolved.

"Atletico Madrid (who Arsenal beat 4-0 in their last Champions League outing) are strong defensively and you saw the result."

Slavia can cling to the fact they have not lost at their Fortuna Arena home since a domestic cup defeat to Sigma Olomouc in early April and Doudera said the team's supporters have a big part to play Tuesday night.

"The atmosphere we have here is really energising, when you feel it's a full house and they have your back, you fly on the pitch," he said.

"We know how we can do at home when we have the fans (with us) and they are supporting us for 90 minutes, that can really help."

Viktor Gyokeres looks set to miss the clash after he suffered a muscular injury in the 2-0 win at Burnley on Saturday.

Midfielder Martin Zubimendi is suspended, so Christian Norgaard is expected to step in for him. Goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga also did not take part in training on Monday.

*The Carabao Cup quarter-final between Arsenal and Crystal Palace will be played on December 23. Palace faced a fixture pile-up of four games in eight days if the match had gone ahead the week before. They host Manchester City in the Premier League on December 14, then would have had to squeeze in a meeting with the Gunners on December 16 before taking on KuPS of Finland in the Conference League on December 18 and then returning to Premier League action against Leeds on December 21.

However, the match has now been confirmed for December 23, with an 8pm kick-off.
