Arsenal are in need of a comeback as they face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final second leg tonight.
PSG sealed a 1-0 victory in last week’s first leg in north London with Ousmane Dembele silencing the Emirates after just four minutes.
The Gunners beat PSG in the league phase of the competition but must do so again – this time in the French capital – if they are to reach their first Champions League final since 2006.
Mikel Arteta’s side will be boosted by the return of Thomas Partey, who missed the first leg through suspension, but will make a late call on the availability of Jurrien Timber after he missed the weekend’s action against Bournemouth.

Early team news

Ahead of tonight, Arsenal were dealt an injury boost after Martin Odegaard, Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori were all spotted in training on Tuesday morning.
Odegaard looks good to go, but Arteta confirmed a late call will still have to be made over Timber’s involvement.
‘We will assess him today whether he can start or not,’ the Spaniard said in Tuesday’s pre-match press conference.
