Team news: ( Arsenal vs PSG)

Arsenal will be without the suspended Thomas Partey for this clash, but Mikel Merino and Ben White should both be available after sitting out the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.

Riccardo Calafiori could return to the squad but Jorginho has joined a lengthy list of absentees that includes Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Magalhães, and Kai Havertz. PSG, conversely, have no absentees and are expected to be at full strength.

Prediction:

This game looks more like a cagey affair between both sides, we also expect goals from the game. It is too close to call but we say 2-2 will be the full-time score.
