**London, England** – Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has opted for an unchanged starting XI for tonight’s crucial Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners, currently on a 14-game unbeaten streak, will be hoping to continue their strong form against the French giants.
The same lineup that secured a 4-2 victory over Leicester City on Saturday will take to the pitch, including Riccardo Calafiori who overcame a knock sustained in the previous match.
There is further positive news for Arsenal with the return of Mikel Merino, who has been recovering from a shoulder injury. The Spaniard is included in the matchday squad for the first time and could potentially make his debut if called upon by Arteta.
PSG, meanwhile, have made four changes to their squad. Ousmane Dembele was left out of the traveling party for disciplinary reasons, with £45 million summer recruit Desire Doue taking his place in the starting lineup. Gianluigi Donnarumma is back in goal after missing the last four matches with a muscular injury, while Nuno Mendes returns at left-back following his recovery from a virus. Vitinha also reclaims his spot in central midfield, replacing Fabian Ruiz.
**The full lineups are as follows:**
**Arsenal:** Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Partey, Rice, Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard.
**Subs:** Neto, Porter, Lewis-Skelly, Robinson, Kiwior, Kacurri, Jorginho, Merino, Nwaneri, Sterling, Butler-Oyedeji, Jesus.
**PSG:** Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves Doue, Barcola, Lee.
**Subs:** Safonov, Tenas, Beraldo, Skriniar, El Hannach, Ruiz, Zague, Mayulu, Mbaye, Kolo Muani, Ascensio.
