Sky Sports activities’ Paul Merson says Arsenal can beat Paris Saint-Germain over two legs within the Champions League semi-final, and have a “massive opportunity” to win the event.

The Gunners face the Ligue 1 facet on the Emirates on Tuesday night after a six-day break since their earlier recreation in opposition to Crystal Palace, with the return leg the next Wednesday on the Parc des Princes.

The 2 sides have already confronted one another this season in Europe, with Arsenal profitable 2-0 on the Emirates within the league section.

However PSG’s type has improved since, beating Liverpool and Aston Villa within the final two knockout rounds, and Luis Enrique’s facet will likely be hoping to take their third Premier League scalp to succeed in the Munich remaining.

Right here, former Arsenal favorite Merson gives his views on the upcoming tie and why Mikel Arteta’s facet can emerge victorious…

‘Arsenal have each likelihood of beating PSG’

“I feel Arsenal win over two legs. We nonetheless get carried away with the PSG of the primary leg in opposition to Liverpool. After they performed on the Parc des Princes, they had been excellent – however they misplaced that recreation 1-0, and so they had been hanging on at Anfield.

“Then they go and dominate Aston Villa and scored with the final kick of the sport, which labored out to be a priceless aim in the long run to go 3-1 up. At Villa Park, it obtained to levels the place you are considering there’s just one winner right here and that is Aston Villa. They’d them on the rack.

“Arsenal have every chance.

“I like what’s occurred [with Arsenal’s fixtures] as a result of so many groups we see in Europe put all their league fixtures across the Champions League and right here, we do not do this.

“Probably for the first time for a long time, an English team has got a real nice break before they play this game, which is refreshing.”

Who’re the favourites to win the Champions League?

Sky Sports activities’ Jamie Carragher:

“All 4 groups are the identical. Typically you’ll have a Actual Madrid, Man Metropolis or Liverpool in there the place you’d say they’re one of many favourites.

“I don’t know who the favourites are. Barcelona are actually poor defensively.

“Mikel Arteta is a brilliant manager, he’s done brilliantly well. We’re at that stage where he needs a trophy.”

‘Arsenal must be extra constant subsequent season’

Arsenal play Bournemouth within the Premier League on Could 3 in between their two legs in opposition to PSG, reside on Saturday Night time Soccer. There have been additionally some questions over Mikel Arteta’s staff choice in Wednesday’s draw in opposition to Crystal Palace…

“I personally suppose they should neglect in regards to the Bournemouth recreation. They have an enormous alternative [in the Champions League] and they aren’t going to complete exterior the highest 5. They’ll have sufficient video games left.

“The next two games against Paris Saint-Germain are absolutely huge. They’ve got an unbelievable opportunity to win in the Champions League, which they’ve never done before.

“If Arsenal wish to win the Premier League, and that’s actually the purpose, that is going to occur each season. In case you’re staff, you are going to go deep into competitions. You want squad gamers and you must carry out week in, week out.

I would like Arsenal to win for Mikel Arteta. Being there 5 years, he wants that large trophy. He wants one.

Sky Sports activities’ Gary Neville

“Mikel Arteta’s worry would be, ‘if we’re second in the league and we’re two points behind, we can’t have performances like this [against Crystal Palace]’. That’s why you have to show so much respect to Man City for what they’ve done over the last few years of consistently churning out results, winning league titles, going deep in the Champions League, even winning it.

“Subsequent season, they will must be much more constant. It is drifted away in that approach, however they’ll say they’ve put all their eggs into this Champions League now.

“These opportunities don’t come along too often. It’s a semi-final against PSG and Arsenal already beat them in the group stages. It’s a massive opportunity.

“I would have rested a couple of extra gamers [against Crystal Palace], if I am being trustworthy. If [William] Saliba would have gotten injured, you possibly can have written the Champions League off. They might have had no centre-half. I assumed he put out a decently sturdy staff, contemplating how large the sport is on Tuesday night time.”

‘All or nothing for Arsenal’

Former Arsenal ahead Paul Merson:

“It’s an enormous recreation subsequent week, Arsenal haven’t received the Champions League earlier than and so they can’t win the Premier League.

“I didn’t blame Arsenal in opposition to Crystal Palace, that’s a tough recreation the place Palace needed to get themselves again after a few dangerous outcomes, plus the Bournemouth recreation. I didn’t see something incorrect with it, it’s all about Tuesday night time and the next Wednesday, that’s their season in a nutshell.

“They’ll get within the high 5, that may be a shoo-in. In the event that they go and win the Champions League and so they come third or fourth, what an unbelievable season that might be, in my view.

“But football changes very quickly, if they go and lose to PSG and then finish third or fourth in the league, then suddenly everyone is on top of Arsenal again and thinking what a nightmare season for them. So what a night for them.”

“It’s hard. Raheem’s been playing football all the time. At Arsenal, he’s coming in for a game here and a game there. When he has come in, it’s not Arsenal’s full team.

“I do not know the place he goes from right here. That will likely be as much as him, however you must persistently play week in, week out to get a rhythm. He is are available for video games the place they’ve made adjustments so it isn’t been fluid. I do really feel for him, however I feel his time at Arsenal will likely be up.

“If I was a Leeds United, I’d be looking at Raheem. They’re a young team, they like to play attacking football and he’s very good in the dressing room and a good team player.

“He is obtained all of the expertise on this planet, he is received Premier Leagues. He’d be going to an enormous membership and the expectations should not as excessive.
