Arsenal continue their Champions League campaign with a heavyweight clash against PSG at the Emirates Stadium tonight. The Gunners played out a goalless draw with Atalanta in their first of eight matches in the new league phase format, and will now be hoping for a statement win to really kick their European charge into gear.
Mikel Arteta’s side coming into the match after a dramatic win over Leicester on Saturday, scoring twice in stoppage-time to edge past the Foxes. It has been an impressive start to the season from Arsenal, who are on a 14-match unbeaten run in all competitions stretching back to defeat against Bayern Munich in April. Ben White is unavailable for the Gunners tonight, but Riccardo Calafiori is expected to be fit after a hamstring scare.
PSG are still adapting to life without Kylian Mbappe but unsurprisingly still sit top of Ligue 1. The French side edged past Girona in their first Champions League match, and face a tough set of European fixtures with Bayern, Manchester City and Atletico Madrid among the teams they will face. Ousmane Dembele will not feature in north London after a falling out with Luis Enrique.

Arsenal will again be without Ben White tonight.
White has missed the last two games due to a groin injury and did not take part in training on Monday afternoon. It means that Jurrien Timber will likely start at right-back again and Riccardo Calafiori should play on the other flank.
There had been speculation Calafiori could miss out after appearing to injure his hamstring in the final moments of Saturday’s win over Leicester- but he trained on Monday.
Mikel Arteta may name an unchanged side for the game with PSG, although Gabriel Jesus could come into the team as he started Arsenal’s last Champions League game against Atalanta.
Arsenal will be without captain Martin Odegaard for their match with PSG as he is still out with an ankle injury. Oleksandr Zinchenko is also out with a calf injury and Kieran Tierney is sidelined due to a hamstring issue.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Havertz, Partey, Rice; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli
