And Mikel Artetas Men have it all to do while they look to destroy the shortage and book their place in the final.
But how can they achieve the apparently impossible?
And who will cut the starting XI for the biggest game of Arsenal in the memory?
Here, Sunssport’s Tactics -Expert Dean Scoggins Unveils everything if he answers your questions …
System change?
Fan question: “Does Arsenal have to change their entire system in the second stage?“
The short answer is no. It is only the peace. It’s gone.
They don’t have to change the entire system, but there are a few subtle tweaks.
PSG Slot in three at the back and Hakimi goes to the right wing.
Arsenal defended in a 4-4-2, where Odegaard joined the frontman. It didn’t work.
The PSG diamonds meant that they took place. I want to see Arsenal Go man for people and be much more brave on the press.
The attackers go and the midfielders support it, with the defenders also in a brave urgent form.
It can make them vulnerable on the right. Does she bring Saka back in? It means that Odegaard would go into a more natural position and push Martinelli on the left.

Hakimi is still a problem, but that is where Lewis-Skelly comes in.
He was incredible with his decision -making in the first stage. He narrows midfield.
So on paper the system remains the same. But how they press and go from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 has to adjust somewhat.
In the first stage, when it came in the central area, they should have put Merino and rice on PSG and steal the ball. Villa saw joy against PSG there.
Rice became widely dragged out of those positions. They have to cut the central channel by forcing PSG Infield and putting a fall to win it back.

Partey’s return
Question question: “How essential will the return of Thomas Partey be?“
He will be vital. Pedey can change this. But it’s not just about coming back. The point is that rice is free.
Rice and Merino were split into the first stage with PSG that played diamonds wide.
They went to pick up those players and PSG operated him in the middle.
We will now see a much more balanced midfield with Pareny, Rice and Odegaard.
Merino will certainly not be in midfield and it will be a difficult decision for Arteta about who is in front.

I would be incorrect that Trossard starts and Merino came up later.
But Pedeey gives you so much and takes the sting out of the game.
He is also in favor of the right side of the field, the attacks of Arsenal come from there.
Pedey drives in to block the counterattack and block slots back in position.
In the future, Rice will arrive for a 2VS1. And the right back also helps Pedey, so that Lewis-Skelly can reverse.
They end in a very compact defensive form. Pedey on and out of the ball will make a huge difference.
Partey gives the attacking players a license to play. Without him you lose two, because you also lose rice.

Arsenal Full-Backs
Fan question: “Will the Fullbacks of Arsenal have to step into the second stage?“
Lewis-Skelly showed that you can become physical with PSG and upset them. He doesn’t lose any duels, it’s remarkable.
His body shape, size, speed, low center of gravity … he almost took that side of the field alone.
Lewis-Skelly makes Martinelli free with his positioning and his decision-making is also fantastic.

On the right you want Saka to pick up the ball with the full-back that comes to meet him.
Odegaard must also do a deeper work, let’s not let Saka do that work.
Timber must be better and get up. They must stop the ball that goes into Kvaratskhelia’s feet and leave him 1v1.
I think you start with Timbey and accept whether it is being booked, you make the change for white.
White is very good on the overlap and works well with Saka, so later in the game he will overlap and that is the replacement.

Deano’s judgment
Arsenal must first score, but it does not mean that they have to go all the weapons in the beginning.
They must be wise and dampen the crowd.
PSG is the team under pressure at home, so the first 15 minutes can be Cagey, which fits Arsenal.
However, they must be brave. Raya’s long steps will come in, just like pieces.
The longer the game goes, the more it plays in Arsenal that continues. Go hard or go home.
