Welcome to Arsenal vs PSG

It is a stand-out tie at The Emirates this evening as Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal welcome PSG to North London in the Champions League.

The Gunners will be again without Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Kieran Tierney and Takehiro Tomiyasu as Arteta struggles with injuries to big names.

Arsenal are also sweating over the fitness of Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber who will all face late fitness tests.

The Spaniard will be hoping that his side can show the same sort of energy that saw them score two goals in added time to beat Leicester City on the weekend.

PSG are without Goncalo Ramos, Lucas Hernandez and Presnel Kimpembe who are all long-term absentees for the French champions.

Gianluigi Donnarumma, Vitinha, Marco Asensio, Dsire Doue and Nuno Mendes have all been given the green light for tonight’s game however after minor injury concerns.

The big decision for Luis Enrique will be whether to start with Randal Kolo Muani or Lee Kang-in up front for the trip to North London.

Arsenal are looking for their first win of this season’s competition after being held to a draw against Atalanta in their opening fixture.
