Arsenal will aim for their first Champions League victory as they host Ligue 1 title-holders PSG at the Emirates on Tuesday.
PSG left it late to secure a 1-0 win against Girona in their UCL opener, while Arsenal were frustrated by a goalless draw with Atlanta. However, both teams head into this European clash fresh off commanding wins in their domestic leagues.
The Parisians comfortably beat Rennes 3-1 in Ligue 1 action, while the Gunners thumped newly-promoted Leicester City 4-2 in the Premier League over the weekend. With both sides in good form, this matchup promises plenty of excitement on the big stage.
The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Arsenal vs. PSG predicted lineups, team news
Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Kiernan Tierney, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all sidelines with different injury issues, which will see them miss this match.
Ben White is also a major doubt for this match having missed out Arsenal's last two games, which could see Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber start again.
Arsenal predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori — Havertz, Partey, Rice — Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.
Injured: White (doubt), Odegaard, Zinchenko, Tierney, Merino, Tomiyasu
Suspended: None
The reigning French champions will be missing a few key players due to long-term injuries, including defender Lucas Hernandez (knee), striker Goncalo Ramos (ankle), and injury-prone centre-back Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles).
On a brighter note, Gianluigi Donnarumma (thigh), Vitinha (ankle), Marco Asensio (thigh), Desire Doue (ankle), and Nuno Mendes have all been named in the squad after overcoming their respective fitness concerns. It's expected that only goalkeeper Donnarumma and full-back Mendes will feature in the starting lineup, though.
Centre-forward Randal Kolo Muani had a tough time in front of goal against Girona, paving the way for Lee Kang-in to start up front, where he netted PSG's second goal against Rennes. But with Ousmane Dembele reportedly left out of the squad following a bust-up with Luis Enrique, both Kolo Muani and Kang-in are likely to lead the line together in this upcoming clash.
PSG predicted XI (4-3-3, right to left): Donnarumma (GK) — Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes — Ruiz, Neves, Zaire-Emery — Lee, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
Injured: Donnarumma (doubt), Vitinha (doubt), Ramos, Hernandez, Kimpembe, Asensio, Doue
Suspended: None
Arsenal vs. PSG Prediction
It's certainly one of the tougher fixtures in Arsenal's Champions League schedule this campaign, but it's hard to envision them slipping up on their own turf, especially with the impressive grit they've displayed in recent outings.
Considering the injury-hit nature of their Ligue 1 opponents, the Gunners should edge out a win in this clash.
