They dominated proceedings against the Foxes but were made to work hard for the victory.

Mads Harmensen was brilliant in goal, but Arsenal managed to prevail with a stoppage-time winner.

Arsenal will now be aiming to register their first win of the new Champions League format.

It won’t be an easy task against PSG despite the absence of Ousmane Dembele tonight.

The Gunners have been handed a triple boost with Riccardo Calafiori, Mikel Merino and Takehiro Tomiyasu back in full training after their respective injury concerns.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya has been brilliant in goal for the Gunners. He made a stunning double penalty save during the goalless draw against Atalanta and is expected to continue between the sticks.

It could be the same backline from the Foxes win. Calafiori suffered a minor injury scare, but he was back in team training in the lead-up to tonight’s encounter.

The Italian should start at left-back, with Jurrien Timber on the right. Ben White could miss the game, having yet to return to full training. He continues to nurse a minor knee issue.

William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are nailed-on starters in central defence. The duo could have a big role to play from set-pieces, considering PSG have been vulnerable in such situations.

Thomas Partey had a good opening half versus the Foxes, but his performance dipped after the break. Despite this, he will likely make the starting line-up alongside Declan Rice in central midfield.

Leandro Trossard was brilliant at the weekend with two goal contributions. He scored the club’s second goal and played a huge part in inducing the own goal from Wilfred Ndidi in the 94th minute.

The Belgian should keep his place in the number 10 position. Gabriel Martinelli had his best game of the campaign with a goal and an assist. He should feature on the left side of the attack.

Bukayo Saka was not directly involved in a goal contribution on Saturday but was exceptional with the ball, winning nine duels and creating eight chances for his teammates.

He is an assured starter on the right wing, with Kai Havertz leading the line. The German worked hard up front for the Gunners and eventually grabbed a goal with almost the final whistle.
