Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has made two changes for tonight’s Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain, bringing back Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino to the starting lineup.
Saka replaces Raheem Sterling in a switch that sees the England midfielder back after missing the previous game. Merino returns from injury, replacing suspended Thomas Partey.
Arteta’s decision is welcomed as Merino has scored nine goals and made six assists in 16 Champions League appearances this season. The Spanish side will look to bounce back from their first Ligue 1 defeat of the campaign last week.
PSG boss Luis Enrique has stuck with his strongest XI, which includes a front three of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desire Doue, and Ousmanne Dembele. Arsenal’s substitutes include Ben White, Leandro Trossard, and several young players looking to make their mark.
