The UEFA Champions League will be in the French capital city of Paris on Wednesday, when PSG and Arsenal will clash for the second time in a week. Having suffered that first-leg defeat in front of a home crowd, the Gunners will be looking to bounce back, though it's an uphill task for Mikel Arteta's men, who failed to score against the French side a week ago.
It was a disciplined and determined effort from Luis Enrique's men at Emirates Stadium, where they took an early lead thanks to the quality of both Kvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele, before grinding out a valuable victory. In contrast, the Arsenal players failed to really fire, delivering something of a frustrated effort. However, we saw what this team is capable of during the quarter finals, when the Gunners went toe-to-toe with Spanish giants Real Madrid and came out on top by a comfortable margin. In other words, don't write the visitors off just yet.

PSG - Arsenal: Form Analysis
Having struggled to be at their best in the first leg, Arsenal had the rather meaningless task of hosting Bournemouth in the Premier League at the weekend. Arteta's men have nothing left to fight for domestically and it showed as they once again stuttered, losing by two goals to zero against a team still fighting for a place on the continent next season.
The Gunners weren't the only ones who failed to fire at the weekend, with the Parisians coming up short on the road to Strasbourg in Ligue 1. Having already wrapped up the Ligue 1 title, Enrique's men can be forgiven for that defeat, especially as they fielded a markedly weakened team. Don't be surprised to see them back to their best on Wednesday.

PSG & Arsenal Squad Analysis
The hosts made several changes for the trip to Strasbourg at the weekend, with the likes of Ramos, Mbaye, Mayulu, Beraldo, Tape and Safonoy all starting. None of those players are likely to feature on Wednesday. Instead, Desire Doue, Kvicha Kvaratskhelia, Fabian Ruiz and Vitinha are all expected to come back into the starting XI. Unfortunately, there are serious doubts over Ousmane Dembele's fitness, which is a concern for Luis Enrique.

Mikel Arteta opted to keep many of his first-choice players up to speed instead of resting them on Saturday, with the likes of Bukayo Saka, Declan Rise, Martin Odegaard and William Saliba all starting against Bournemouth. Those four are expected to start here. Sadly for the visitors, the likes of Gabriel, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz are still sidelined.

Our PSG vs Arsenal Prediction
In the likely absence of Ousmane Dembele, the direct and hungry-looking Desire Doue is going to be a hugely important part of the offensive puzzle for PSG on Wednesday. The youngster has performed well in UCL games this season, scoring a wonderful goal against Aston Villa in the quarters, while he also registered a shot on target against Arsenal last week. Factor in those impressive stats above and odds of -110 are hard to ignore. Our PSG vs Arsenal Pick: Desire Doue Over 0.5 Shots on Target.
