Arsenal team news

Thomas Partey will miss the first leg through suspension after collecting a needless booking against Real Madrid. The Ghana international’s absence is problematic for Arsenal, who are also missing Jorginho from their midfield options.

Mikel Merino could be moved back into midfield to deputise, leaving Gabriel Martinelli or Leandro Trossard to take on the centre-forward position.

Arsenal remain without a recognised forward with Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus sidelined, while defensive duo Gabriel Maghalaes and Takehiro Tomiyasu are also absent. Riccardo Calafiori remains doubtful for the Gunners.

Arsenal predicted lineup

Arsenal perdicted XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.

When is Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain?
