Gunners to show some fight on their travels
Arsenal have it all to do if they are to progress into the Champions League final as they prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of their semi-final.
Ousmane Dembele’s fourth-minute strike at the Emirates Stadium was enough to silence the home crowd and it was the only goal in a tight game.
Arsenal are without a win in three in all competitions, and they go into the game following a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth. However, they can make PSG work for their spot in the final.
Both clubs have been guilty of focusing on their European dreams, with PSG winning only one of their last four in all competitions, and Arsenal will hope to expose them.
Arsenal are unbeaten in seven away games, and they will have to throw the kitchen sink at their hosts to have any chance of progressing.
PSG have been the nearly-men in Europe for years, but they only need a draw to progress and after enjoying a rest over the weekend, Luis Enrique’s star players should be able to earn a share of the spoils and book their spot in the final.

Refreshed Dembele ready to haunt Arsenal again
PSG’s previous transfer policy was to sign big-name players in their pursuit of European glory. Under Enrique’s watch, PSG have transformed themselves and their coaching staff have got the best out of winger Ousmane Dembele.
The former Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona ace has scored 33 goals in 45 appearances this season, with eight of those coming in the Champions League.
He suffered a hamstring injury in the first leg with the Gunners, but he and Enrique are confident he will be fit and ready to start on Wednesday. Dembele has already proved he can net against the Gunners, and after a short break, the 27-year-old should be firing on all cylinders.

Arsenal’s forwards to go down swinging
Wednesday’s game should be entertaining and captivating from the first whistle. Both teams are capable of scoring, with the Gunners having netted in eight of their last nine European outings.
Both teams have scored in four of PSG’s last five home games and they may have to deal with an Arsenal onslaught in Paris.
Arsenal have played the majority of the season without a striker, so their midfielders have had to step up in front of goal.
Declan Rice has registered seven shots on target in 12 games, and who can forget his two majestic free-kicks against Real Madrid? The former West Ham man has proved he can step up when it matters. He should find the target at least once, as should Saka and Martinelli.
Saka has hit the target six times in five appearances, while Martinelli has registered a shot on target in five consecutive games and 10 times in his last 10 appearances.
PSG midfielder Joao Neves will be tasked with trying to slow down Arsenal, and he will be happy to continue to be a disruptor in the middle of the park. Neves has conceded 22 fouls in the Champions League for PSG, the most in the squad, with four of those coming in the first leg against the Gunners.
