Arsenal will look to make it four points from two games in the Champions League in midweek, but they face arguably their toughest test of the new eight-match league stage when they host Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Mikel Arteta’s team are third in the Premier League after four wins from six, though they’ve only won two of their last six in all competitions and needed injury-time goals to beat Leicester at the weekend.
In Europe last time out they drew 0-0 at Atalanta, while PSG beat Girona 1-0 thanks to a last-minute goalkeeping error. Domestically, the French side have five wins and a draw so far to already leave them top, albeit only on goal difference at this stage.
Arsenal face Shakhtar, Inter Milan and Sporting in their upcoming matches in this competition.

What is the team news?
The Gunners will be without Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard, as well as defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu, Oleksandr Zinchenko and potentially Ben White. The latter’s absence would mean Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori at full-back again, but otherwise they’re likely to go with the same faces as have been in the team recently.
PSG are missing a plethora of starters including Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, Goncalo Ramos and Ousmane Dembele, the latter after falling out with manager Luis Enrique. Nuno Mendes, Vintinha and goalkeeper Gigi Donnarumma are also all doubts, leaving a few holes for PSG to fill.
Predicted lineups
Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Partey, Rice, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli, Havertz
PSG XI: Safonov, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Beraldo, Neves, Zaire-Emery, Ruiz, Muani, Kang-In, Barcola
