The London club won the Europa League last season. However, due to simultaneously dropping to seventeenth place in the domestic league, Postecoglou was still dismissed. His replacement, Frank, is trying to bring his new team back to their usual high level, but not everything is going smoothly. The Czechs returned to the top of their league in the spring and are trying to hold onto it, although Sparta continues to put pressure on their neighbors as usual.
In the Champions League, the English side started with home wins over Villarreal and Copenhagen and drew away at Bodø/Glimt and Monaco. In the last round, they faced PSG again, to whom they lost on penalties in the summer after losing a two-goal lead in the UEFA Super Cup. This time, the match was even more spectacular but less successful, ending 3-5.
Trpišovský’s team is still without a win in the tournament. They strictly alternate between losses and draws. After a 2-2 draw at home with Bodø/Glimt, they suffered heavy defeats (0-3) against Inter and Arsenal and played to goalless draws with Atalanta and Athletic.
