Arsenal hosts Paris Saint-Germain, one of the biggest teams in France, for their first home match of the Champions League season.

Under the guidance of Spanish strategist Mikel Arteta, Arsenal is playing some excellent football and is in terrific form. They drew with Serie A team Atalanta in their previous Champions League match, but this time they'll aim to win their first UCL game of the year.
Although they are among the favorites to win the Premier League this year, there is intense competition in the Champions League.
 
PSG is leading the Ligue 1 and is having a great season. They have participated in six league games, winning five of them and drawing one thus far.
For Luis Enrique's team, traveling to the Emirates and playing the Gunners will undoubtedly be difficult.

Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain Team News
Arsenal Team News
Odegaard (ankle), Mikel Merino (shoulder), Oleksandr Zinchenko (calf), Kieran Tierney (hamstring), and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are the five long-term Arsenal absentees who will not play on Tuesday. However, Merino has a remote chance of returning for Arsenal's Premier League match against Southampton this coming weekend.
 
There won't be any rest for Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber, who are only recently back from their own knocks, out wide since Arteta is also concerned about the health of the reliable Ben White, who has missed the Gunners' previous two games due to a knee injury.
 
The fact that Wilfred Ndidi's own goal against Leicester cost Arsenal the match prevented Bukayo Saka from breaking the all-time record of setting up a goal in each of his first six Premier League games this year. Nonetheless, no Arsenal player has collected more points in their first five home games of the competition than the Englishman, who has directly contributed to seven goals in five Champions League games at the Emirates.

Paris Saint-Germain Team News
Due to a thigh problem, the Ligue 1 leaders have had to deal with the loss of starting goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for a few weeks. Mendes (sickness) and former Wolverhampton Wanderers player Vitinha (ankle) are both doubtful for the trip to North London.
 
Randal Kolo Muani, who was guilty of wastefulness against Girona, would provide more of a physical threat to Gabriel Magalhaes and fellow countryman William Saliba, but Lee Kang-in started up top and scored PSG's second against Rennes.

GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 PSG (Saka, 35')
In it comes low from Saka.... ALL THE WAY IN!

There was no touch but the movement flummoxed Gianluigi Donnarumma!
 
Martinelli went to play it, then so too did Partey, but it's Saka's goal!
 
Another set-piece goal - and Arsenal are in command.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 PSG (Havertz, 20')
