Lots of decisions for Arteta on the lineup. Has to play Timber if he’s fit.

I think we go:

Raya
Timber - Saliba - Gabriel - Calafiori
Rice - Zubimendi
Saka - Odegaard - Trossard
Havertz

Tho I could see MLS starting and Gyokeres too

Gotta be MLS, Odegaard didn't play well against them last year, think I'd lean Eze and let Odegaard do his 20-30 min session he's been doing recently

Nervous excitement.

Interested to see how the team plays after they've kinda got the monkey off their backs and won the PL.

I do think in general, PSG is the better side, if not just for the fact that most of their guys have played significantly less minutes than ours. They are a very dangerous attacking team, but we played them fairly well and we had our chances against them last year.

Going to take us playing just about perfectly to get a result.

All that to say, it's just 1 game and just about anything can happen.

Idk call me insane but I think we have the better team and the better defense. They are better in attack and we are close in midfield prowess.

I think they will highly need to outperform their xG to beat us. They are capable no doubt because they have great finishers but Arsenal tend to give nothing away no matter the competition

Their attack is SIGNIFICANTLY better than ours, which is what scares me. We get caught on our heels on counters, and this is the best attacking team we will face all season.

If we had a fully healthy timber or white, I'd be so much more comfortable going into tomorrow.

Unfortunately they've been doing that for going on 2 years now, I think they were out xG'd in all but 1 of the 2 legged ties.

A team full of killer finishers, basically the opposite of us.

This is complete bullshite. I think we've allowed 1 counterattacking goal ALL season. The 5th game of the season against City at home.

So no, we do not get caught on our heels.

Also PSG plays no where near the talented teams we do quite literally every fricking week. They don't play teams good enough to park the bus consistently on them like we have dealt with all season.

A couple of keys for us:

-Don't concede in the first 20 min or so, we were fine in last years semis after the early goal

-Capitalize if we win the ball on the press

-Crisp handoffs when moving from 4-4-2 zonal press into man to man off the ball

-take advantage when you get set pieces. They have 1 player over 6'1" on their team
