Arsenal vs. PSG: Preview, team news, prediction for Champions League match

Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will meet for the second time of the current Champions League campaign on Tuesday, although this time will be the first leg of the semi-finals.

The Gunners ran out 2-0 winners in the most recent meeting, played at the Emirates Stadium during the league phase. Tuesday's match will also take place at the London venue, where Arsenal have proven near-unbeatable this season.

Arsenal are coming off a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace in Premier League play, but that was six days prior to kick-off of this match which means the team will be well rested.

Meanwhile, PSG are Ligue 1 champions again and were last in action on Friday, when they lost 3-1 to visiting Nice. The Parisians will have had four days' rest for this match.

Here's what to know about Arsenal and PSG before their second leg match.
