Arsenal will welcome PSG to the Emirates Stadium for the first leg of their all-important Champions League semifinal clash on Wednesday.
The Gunners booked their place in the semifinals with a convincing 5-1 aggregate win over defending champions Real Madrid. Having missed out on the Premier League title to Liverpool, their full focus will be on winning their first Champions League.
PSG, on the other hand, had a tougher ordeal in their quarterfinal tie against Aston Villa, narrowly emerging 5-4 victors over two legs. They come into this game on the back of a 3-1 loss to Nice in Ligue 1.
The two sides had met during this season's league phase, with Arsenal defeating PSG 2-0 at home.

Arsenal vs. PSG predicted lineups, team news
Thomas Partey will miss the first leg against PSG after accumulating too many yellow cards. This gives Mikel Arteta a bit of a headache as Jorginho is also out with a long-term injury. As a result, Declan Rice could start as the holding midfielder, with Mikel Merino playing as the left-sided box-to-box midfielder.
Additionally, Arsenal are missing several crucial players such as Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Gabriel Jesus. Riccardo Calafiori will also miss this game in all likelihood.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly — Odegaard, Rice, Merino — Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.
Injured: Gabriel, Jorginho, Havertz, Tomiyasu, Jesus, Calafiori (doubt)
Suspended: Partey
PSG, on the other hand, have a clean slate of health, with no injury concerns as they come into this semifinal clash against Arsenal. Despite their 3-1 loss, Luis Enrique should start the same starting 11 in this match.
Bradley Barcola may be given a start ahead of Desire Doue on the left wing. Ousmane Dembele is having a fantastic season and will once again lead PSG's frontline.
PSG predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Donnarumma (GK) — Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes — Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves — Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
Injured: None
Suspended: None
