Arsenal have never won the Champions League, but they are just one game away from lifting the coveted European trophy.

Rio Ferdinand has tipped Arsenal to beat PSG in this month's showpiece event, citing their set-piece factor.

He referenced PSG's fragility from set-pieces against Bayern, predicting Arsenal to cause "absolute carnage."

Speaking on his YouTube channel, the 2008 Champions League winner said: "But they look uncomfortable at set-pieces. Even Bayern Munich, who aren’t great at set-pieces, they made them look uncomfortable and I’ve seen it many times this season. They’re the best team in the Premier League at set-pieces and if they get set-pieces and free-kicks and corners, they are going to cause absolute carnage against that small PSG team.

"Physically, at set-pieces, PSG can not compete with Arsenal and if Arsenal get any type of possession and any type of free-kicks around the box, or even the halfway line, they’re going to cause damage."
