Arsenal travel to Paris Saint-Germain tonight in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final.
The Gunners trail 1-0 to the French champions ahead of tonight’s tie at the Parc des Princes. Ousmane Dembele scored the decisive goal in North London after just four minutes to provide the Parisians with a lead to protect on home soil.
The winners will face Inter Milan in the final, after the Italians beat Barcelona in a Champions League classic on Tuesday night.
Both teams have reached the final just once before and each are aiming to be crowned European champions for the first time.
Mikel Arteta’s options have been greatly boosted by the returns of Riccardo Calafiori and Thomas Partey to his squad. Partey missed the first-leg defeat through suspension. The Ghana midfielder is expected to replace Leandro Trossard in the sole change. Mikel Merino will likely return to a centre-forward position.
Calafiori has recovered from a knee issue to travel with the squad. Jurrien Timber has also shaken off an issue he sustained in last week’s first leg and is fit to feature.
In terms of absentees, the North Londoners remain with out Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Jorginho and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Arsenal predicted XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Merino.
PSG host Arsenal in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final on Wednesday 7th May 2025. Kick-off at the Parc des Princes is 20:00 BST.
