Arsenal to score first (6/5 with Sky Bet)

PSG have conceded the opening goal in four of their seven home Champions League games this season.

How both teams go into PSG vs Arsenal

PSG are looking to knock out a third English team en route to a potential Champions League final. Les Parisiens had to go through the knockout phase play-offs after an underwhelming group stage, but they thrashed fellow French side Brest 10-0 over their two legs. That set up a last-16 tie against Liverpool, in which PSG came from a 0-1 first-leg deficit to win on penalties. PSG then beat Aston Villa over two legs in the quarter-finals, though they almost gave up a healthy lead.

Arsenal will be hoping to repeat PSG’s comeback against Liverpool as they dream of a second Champions League final. The Gunners will go all in on the Champions League, with the Premier League title gone and a top five finish highly likely. Mikel Arteta’s men automatically qualified for the last 16 of the Champions League, where they beat PSV 9-3 on aggregate. The biggest result of their campaign came in the quarter-finals, though, as Arsenal dominated defending champions Real Madrid to win 5-1 on aggregate.

Ousmane Dembele came off after 70 minutes of the first leg with a suspected hamstring injury. But the goalscoring hero insisted after the game that “it’s going to be fine” ahead of the second leg. Luis Enrique, however, has listed Dembele as a doubt with the Frenchman set to undergo tests. PSG otherwise have everyone available.

Arsenal team news

Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz and Jorginho are all expected to be back before the season is over, but they’re set to miss this game. Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu are out for the season.
