Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will contest the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
Neither of these two heavyweights have won the Champions League but one of them will be guaranteed a shot at glory in next month’s showpiece in Munich.
Arsenal produced a massive statement of intent in the previous round by ruthlessly cutting apart Real Madrid over two legs, triumphing by an aggregate scoreline of 5-1.
That emphatic victory saw Mikel Arteta steer the Gunners to the last-four of Europe’s premier club competition for the first time since 2009.
As for PSG, they will be hoping to go on better this year after falling at the semi-final hurdle 12 months ago.
Having impressively dispatched Premier League duo Liverpool and Aston Villa to reach this stage, Luis Enrique’s side have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with.
Arsenal could hold a key psychological edge coming into this encounter after defeating PSG 2-0 at the Emirates during the new-look league phase of this season’s Champions League.
Thomas Partey is out of the contest, with the Arsenal midfielder suspended due to the yellow card he picked up against Real Madrid in the previous round.
PSG boss Luis Enrique looks set to have the luxury of a fully fit squad to choose from on Tuesday night.
Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
