Tonight, Arsenal host Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates Stadium for the first leg of their first Champions League semi-final since the 2008-09 season.

The Gunners defeated Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate to reach this stage of Europe's elite competition but that winning form wasn't present in their last outing as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace a little under a week ago.

Mikel Arteta opted to rotate his side for the clash with Palace and the preceding trip to Ipswich Town but there is no denying he will go strong for this matchup. This will be one of the most important games of his managerial career and he will be ready to use his best players in order to get a result.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs PSG (4-3-3)

Goalkeeper: David Raya

Raya had a shaky game against Crystal Palace but there is no denying he will continue between the sticks on Tuesday.

Right back: Jurrien Timber

One of Arsenal's best players against Real Madrid and should be a shoo-in to play on the right flank of defence once again.

Centre back: William Saliba

Made errors against Madrid and Palace but will continue in defence. Will just need to shake those errors off.

Centre back: Jakub Kiwior

In a good run of form and has continued to prove he is a more than suitable stand-in for Gabriel so will continue against PSG.

Left back: Myles Lewis-Skelly

Remains the best option at left back and his maturity beyond his years will be needed when coming up against the Ligue 1 champions.

Defensive midfield: Declan Rice

Will have to drop back into a more defensive position in the absence of Thomas Partey but should be able to have a similar influence to previous games.

Central midfield: Martin Odegaard

Has continued to be in up-and-down form recently but did provide an assist with a good cross for Jakub Kiwior against Palace. His creativity will be much required against PSG.

Central midfield: Mikel Merino

Back in training following a short spell out with injury. Don't want to rush him back but should start in the midfield on Tuesday.

Right winger: Bukayo Saka

Dropped to the bench against Palace but will come back into the starting lineup for this one. Should be able to cause PSG plenty of problems with his trickery on the wing.

Centre forward: Leandro Trossard

Has hit form at the right time with three goals in his last two games and with Merino dropping back into midfield, he would be the sensible option to start up top.

Left winger: Gabriel Martinelli
