Arsenal have one of the best defences in the world at this current time and that is clearly on show as they face the prospect of breaking a 122-year-old club record against Slavia Prague.

Arteta's side's win at Burnley means they have not conceded a goal in any competition since 28 September, keeping seven consecutive clean sheets.

That is the second-longest run in their history with an eight-match streak in 1903 the only period better than their ongoing run. If the Gunners keep the Czech champions at bay, they will equal that record. Of course, a win would be their top priority, but to manage such a feat would be simply brilliant too.
