Arsenal welcome Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to the Emirates on Tuesday in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. The Gunners are back at this stage of the competition for the first time since the 2008-09 campaign, while the Parisians are in the semi-finals for the second straight season.
Arsenal beat reigning champions Real Madrid 5-1 on aggregate in the previous round. They extended their unbeaten streak across competitions to 12 games in midweek with a 2-2 home draw with Crystal Palace in the Premier League. Jakub Kiwior and Leandro Trossard scored in the first half.
The Parisians, meanwhile, overcame Premier League side Aston Villa 5-4 on aggregate in the quarter-finals. They have won just one of their last four games across competitions, though.
