Meanwhile, Riccardo Calafiori has also shaken off a knock as Mikel Arteta names the same XI that started against Leicester City, meaning that Kai Havertz is once again preferred to Gabriel Jesus in attack with Thomas Partey partnering Declan Rice in midfield.

For PSG, there is no Ousmané Dembele in the squad after a fallout with Luis Enrique, meaning that Lee Kang In starts through the middle flanked by talented pair Bradley Barcola and Desire Doué.

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

PSG XI: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Neves, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Doué, Lee Kang In, Barcola
