The first defeat of the season in Ligue 1 and only one victory in the last 4 games. The biggest challenge in PSG intervenes at the heart of a bad pass for PSG, which has lost the wire a little in recent weeks. At a press conference, Luis Enrique preferred to sweep what he deems as a negative atmosphere, preferring to focus on positive aspects. One of them is undoubtedly the fact that he can offer the best possible team this Tuesday evening at the Emirates Stadium. Indeed, he has a whole group, which will allow him to align his preferential eleven.
Unsurprisingly, in defense, to defend the cages of Donnarumma, we will therefore find the usual quartet composed of Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho and Nuno Mendes. In the middle, in recent weeks have clearly released a typical trio, with Vitinha, João Neves and Fabian Ruiz. Too bad for Warren Zaïre-Emery, less imperial since his return from injury. Finally, in attack, Ousmane Dembélé, who had missed the league phase match last October, will be well in point.
Gifted or Barcola?
To accompany it, we will undoubtedly find the winter recruit Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which has become essential. The only real doubt concerns the third thief: Bradley Barcola or Désiré Goué? The two men have shared this role lately. When Luis Enrique imagines a match with space and transitions, he generally favors Barcola, and facing the low blocks, he appreciates the more technical touch of Désiré Doué. It is the latter who could be privileged in the face of Gunners who offer few counterattacks to his opponents thanks to a fairly exceptional replacement speed.
The Gunners, precisely, will offer their usual 4-3-3, with Raya in the goals, the Lewis-Skelly sensation on the left, Timber on the right and the Saliba-Kiwior hinge. The Pole has been holding the barrack in recent weeks, and has forgotten the great absent Gabriel. In the middle, Mikel Arteta deplores the absence, for suspension, of Thomas Partey, and should align Mikel Merino to accompany Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard. Merino had recently helped out at the center-forward post, decimated by injuries (Gabriel Jesus, Kai Hvaertz) but it is Leandro Trossard who should relay him this Tuesday evening, with Martinelli and Saka on the wings. The match is launched.
