Arsenal will host PSG in the first leg of their all-important Champions League semifinal clash on Tuesday.
The Gunners' focus now will solely be on the elite European competition since Liverpool have sealed the Premier League title. Mikel Arteta's team knocked out defending champions Real Madrid with an aggregate 5-1 win in the quarterfinals.
PSG, on the other hand, had a nervy tie against Aston Villa, winning 5-4 on an aggregate despite a 3-2 loss in the second leg. They come into this match on the back of a surprise 3-1 loss to Nice in Ligue 1.
The two sides have already met in this season's Champions League during the league phase, with Arsenal defeating PSG 2-0 thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.

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
