PSG, meanwhile, narrowly defeated Spanish side Girona 1-0 at Parc des Princes, thanks to an own goal by Girona\u2019s Argentine goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga.<\/p>\n<p>Bayern Munich currently tops the Champions League group standings after a commanding 9-2 victory over Dinamo Zagreb in their first match.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal and PSG have faced each other four times in European competition. The London club beat PSG 1-0 in the 1994 European Cup Winners&#8217; Cup semifinals after a 1-1 draw in Paris. They last met in the 2016-17 Champions League group stage, with both matches ending in draws (1-1 in Paris and 2-2 in London).<\/p>\n<p><b>Havertz and Barcola in top form<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal\u2019s German midfielder Kai Havertz, 25, has been in fine form this season, netting four goals in all competitions. His most recent strike came in Arsenal\u2019s 4-2 win over Leicester City on Saturday, lifting the team to third place in the Premier League.<\/p>\n<p>PSG\u2019s Bradley Barcola has been equally impressive, with six goals this season, including a brace in PSG\u2019s 3-1 victory over Rennes last Friday. The 22-year-old French forward has emerged as the top scorer for the Ligue 1 leaders. France international Ousmane Dembele has also contributed significantly, with four goals in the domestic league.<\/p>\n<p><b>Injuries trouble Arsenal ahead of key match<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal head into the match with several key players sidelined due to injuries. Norwegian star Martin Odegaard is out with an ankle injury, while new signing Mikel Merino fractured his shoulder in training, keeping him out for weeks. Defenders Takehiro Tomiyasu, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Kieran Tierney are also unavailable.<\/p>\n<p>PSG are not without their own injury concerns, as French defender Presnel Kimpembe remains sidelined with a long-term Achilles injury. Left-back Lucas Hernandez and forward Goncalo Ramos are also out of action.<\/p>\n<p>The Arsenal vs. PSG clash will kick off at 1900GMT at London\u2019s Arsenal Stadium.<\/p>\n<p><b>Champions League matchday 2 fixtures<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Tuesday:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Salzburg vs. Brest<\/p>\n<p>Stuttgart vs. Sparta Prague<\/p>\n<p>Inter Milan vs. Crvena Zvezda<\/p>\n<p>Borussia Dortmund vs. Celtic<\/p>\n<p>Barcelona vs. Young Boys<\/p>\n<p>Bayer Leverkusen vs. AC Milan<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal vs. Paris Saint-Germain<\/p>\n<p>PSV Eindhoven vs. Sporting Lisbon<\/p>\n<p>Slovan Bratislava vs. Manchester City<\/p>\n<p><b>Wednesday:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Atalanta<\/p>\n<p>Girona vs. Feyenoord<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool vs. Bologna<\/p>\n<p>RB Leipzig vs. Juventus<\/p>\n<p>Benfica vs. Atletico Madrid<\/p>\n<p>Dinamo Zagreb vs. Monaco<\/p>\n<p>Lille vs. Real Madrid<\/p>\n<p>Aston Villa vs. Bayern Munich<\/p>\n<p>Sturm Graz vs. Club Brugge<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Mauritius Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
