At 8pm this Tuesday, Arsenal will take part in the most significant match of their recent history, and arguably one of the biggest fixtures in the club’s storied existence. The Gunners welcome Paris Saint-Germain to North London for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, and the Emirates crowd will be crucial in giving Mikel Arteta’s side the perfect platform as they look to secure a place in the final in Munich on 31 May.
Arsenal’s Starting XI to Face PSG :
Despite being without Thomas Partey, who is suspended for the first leg, as well as Gabriel, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, all ruled out for the remainder of the season through injury. Mikel Arteta has still named a strong and competitive starting eleven. The side features three England internationals, one in each third of the pitch: Myles Lewis-Skelly in defence, Declan Rice anchoring the midfield, and Bukayo Saka leading the attacking line.
Starting XI :
- David Raya (Goalkeeper)
- Myles Lewis-Skelly (Left-back)
- William Saliba (Centre-back)
- Jakub Kiwior (Centre-back)
- Jurrien Timber (Right-back)
- Declan Rice (Defensive Midfielder)
- Mikel Merino (Central Midfielder)
- Martin Ødegaard (Attacking Midfielder)
- Bukayo Saka (Right Winger)
- Gabriel Martinelli (Left Winger)
- Leandro Trossard (Striker)
