Over their history, Arsenal and PSG have met just seven times, with both teams sharing an identical record.

Luis Enrique’s side is top heavy, and would present a challenge for Arsenal’s defence given the attacking threat they carry.

A stacked front line that can rotate between the likes of , , Desire Doue and would likely be Arsenal’s sternest test of the season.

However, PSG are not the same side this season as they were last year, and their attacking style often leaves them vulnerable at the back.

Enrique’s men have already conceded 21 GOALS in the this season.

By comparison, Arsenal have let in just SIX in their 14 European clashes this term.

PSG have also been on the receiving end of a few shocks this season, including a draw with Newcastle and a defeat to Sporting.

Arsenal’s players were stung by their exit to PSG last year, and this game offers the Gunners the perfect opportunity for revenge.

BAYERN MUNICH

Arsenal have never played any team more times than they have faced Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

The Gunners have taken on Bayern an incredible 15 TIMES in Europe’s elite competition, and their record against the Germans doesn’t make for good reading.

They have just a 26.7 per cent win ratio against Bayern over the years, and have conceded a whopping 31 goals in that time.

However, it was Arsenal who came out on top when the two teams last met in this year’s league phase.

Mikel Arteta’s side blew Bayern away, earning a 3-1 home victory in a dominant display at the Emirates Stadium without , and .

It is not just Bayern’s brilliant record against Arsenal that should be concerning, but also the record of their main man.

has netted 15 times against Arsenal during his career, his third best tally against any club.

The captain would surely have some extra motivation to get one over on his former North London foes, too.

However, Arsenal have plenty to take confidence from when facing ‘s Bayern Munich.

Not least is their use of their set-piece threat against the club, who boast a terrible record from dead balls this season.

In the league, Bayern have conceded 43 PER CENT of all their goals from set pieces and penalties.

Arsenal may feel they can defy their own history against Bayern when looking at that glaring vulnerability.
