Currently third in the EPL after their victory over Leicester City over the weekend, the Gunners will be looking to claim their first Champions League win of the new campaign after being held away to Atalanta in Gameweek 1.

Watching from Outside Your Region
If you find yourself unable to view UCL matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Team News and Lineup
The boss has kept faith in the same starting XI that faced Leicester City on Saturday and recorded a 4-2 success to stretch our unbeaten run to 14 games, which means that Riccardo Calafiori is OK to feature after picking up a knock late on in that game.
There is another boost with Merino being named in our matchday squad for the first time after recovering from a shoulder injury. The Spaniard could make his debut if introduced off the bench.
PSG meanwhile have made four changes to their side, with the headline news being that Ousmane Dembele was left at home for disciplinary reasons, and his spot in the line-up is taken by £45 million summer recruit Desire Doue.
Gianluigi Donnarumma returns in goal after missing the last four matches with a muscular injury, while Nuno Mendes is back in at left-back after recovering from a virus.
Vitinha is also fit again and replaces Fabian Ruiz in central midfield, while Marco Ascensio is strong enough for a spot on the bench.

In strict dramatic terms, no, not really. But it’s still one of the giants of the English game against the leading team in France, and it’ll feel nice to win, so while there’s no full-blown jeopardy for either side tonight, we’re nevertheless in marker-down territory, where victory allied to an impressive performance will augur well for the long road stretching out ahead. Big game, then? Big enough! Kick-off is at 8pm BST. It’s on.
