Wenger rests Fabregas and Hleb
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger left four of his regular players at home as the team flew out to face Slavia Prague.
Wenger's team beat Slavia Prague 7-0 when the teams met in London last month and they will qualify for the knockout stages if they win the return match in the Czech Republic.
Arsenal only need two points from their final two group matches to go through and Wenger has decided to rest Cesc Fabregas, Tomas Rosicky, Alexander Hleb and Kolo Toure.
Rosicky has a groin problem and Toure has a minor calf injury but Hleb and Fabregas are both rested.
Theo Walcott seems certain to start the match, either in attack or on the wing, while Abou Diaby may return in midfield.
Jens Lehmann is also included in an 18-man squad.
