Arsenal vs PSG LIVE: Champions League team news, line-ups and more tonight

The Paris Saint-Germain coach spoke about his opposite number in his pre-match press conference saying: “I have already worked with Mikel Arteta.

“We were teammates at Barcelona for a season and I have great memories of him. I’m really looking forward to meeting him tomorrow, to being able to talk to him.

“He’s one of the best coaches around right now, and he has completely changed Arsenal. A great coach and a great person.”

Dembele allegedly clashed with Enrique in the wake of PSG’s Ligue 1 win over Rennes on Friday after the French forward had been substituted during the 3-1 win.

The 27-year-old had been in fine early-season form in the French capital, scoring four times in six league games to help fill the void left by Kylian Mbappe after his compatriot’s departure for Real Madrid.

A lower-key battle than might be expected for such a high-profile encounter, due to the nature of this competition offering little jeopardy for big clubs failing to win.

With that said, both teams have the ability to score goals but might not have the edge to go on and way the game.

Here’s how wee see both teams lining up for tonight’s match based on their previous results and how both managers will look to outfox the other:

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Partey, Rice, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli, Havertz

PSG XI: Safonov, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Beraldo, Neves, Zaire-Emery, Ruiz, Muani, Kang-In, Barcola

As for latest odds, Arsenal are the surprisingly heavy favourites with a decent 7/2 price backing the French champions to triumph at the Emirates:

The Gunners will be without Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard, as well as defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu, Oleksandr Zinchenko and potentially Ben White. The latter’s absence would mean Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori at full-back again, but otherwise they’re likely to go with the same faces as have been in the team recently.

PSG are missing a plethora of starters including Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, Goncalo Ramos and Ousmane Dembele, the latter after falling out with manager Luis Enrique. Nuno Mendes, Vintinha and goalkeeper Gigi Donnarumma are also all doubts, leaving a few holes for PSG to fill.

Arsenal will look to make it four points from two games in the Champions League in midweek, but they face arguably their toughest test of the new eight-match league stage when they host Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.

Mikel Arteta’s team are third in the Premier League after four wins from six, though they’ve only won two of their last six in all competitions and needed injury-time goals to beat Leicester at the weekend.

In Europe last time out they drew 0-0 at Atalanta, while PSG beat Girona 1-0 thanks to a last-minute goalkeeping error. Domestically, the French side have five wins and a draw so far to already leave them top, albeit only on goal difference at this stage.

Arsenal face Shakhtar, Inter Milan and Sporting in their upcoming matches in this competition.

Welcome to The Independent’s coverage of tonight’s Champions League action as Arsenal host Paris Saint-Germain in a blockbuster clash at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners drew 0-0 in their first outing when they took on last season’s Europa League winners Atalanta and face another difficult contest against the French champions tonight.

Mikel Arteta will be confident his side can pull off a victory though and should Arsenal collect three points it will be a sign that they can achieve big things in this competition.

We’ll have all the team news, line-ups and updates throughout the evening so stick with us as we build up to kick off at 8pm.
