Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will contest the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie at the Emirates on Tuesday night.
Neither of these two heavyweights have won the Champions League but one of them will be guaranteed a shot at glory in next month’s showpiece in Munich.
Arsenal produced a massive statement of intent in the previous round by ruthlessly cutting apart Real Madrid over two legs, triumphing by an aggregate scoreline of 5-1.
That emphatic victory saw Mikel Arteta steer the Gunners to the last-four of Europe’s premier club competition for the first time since 2009.
As for PSG, they will be hoping to go on better this year after falling at the semi-final hurdle 12 months ago.
Having impressively dispatched Premier League duo Liverpool and Aston Villa to reach this stage, Luis Enrique’s side have established themselves as a force to be reckoned with.
How the bookies view it: Gunners to fire first blow
The bookmakers' odds suggest that Arsenal will draw first blood on Tuesday night, with a home win trading at 11/10 with Boylesports.
PSG are as big as 23/10 on Boylesports to emerge from the Emirates with a first-leg lead, while an all-square affair in the English capital has been chalked up at 5/2 with the same firm.
Head to head: Advantage Arsenal?
Arsenal could hold a key psychological edge coming into this encounter after defeating PSG 2-0 at the Emirates during the new-look league phase of this season’s Champions League.
Given that semi-final first legs can often be cagey affairs, another game between the pair featuring under 2.5 goals could be an angle to follow at 10/11 on Boylesports.
Players to watch: Saka to put PSG to the sword?
Bukayo Saka played a pivotal role in Arsenal’s aforementioned demolition of Real Madrid, scoring the goal that arguably killed off the tie. The Gunners ace is an eye-catching 13/10 (PaddyPower) for either a goal or an assist on Tuesday night.
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia isn’t afraid to try his luck in front of goal when the opportunity presents itself, making the PSG forward an appealing option to register a shot on target at 10/11 with Bet 365.
Predicted line-ups
Thomas Partey is out of the contest, with the Arsenal midfielder suspended due to the yellow card he picked up against Real Madrid in the previous round.
PSG boss Luis Enrique looks set to have the luxury of a fully fit squad to choose from on Tuesday night.
Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli
PSG: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Barcola, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Anything else catch the eye?
Following his stunning two free-kick goals against Real Madrid, Declan Rice is full of confidence and playing with a real swagger at the moment.
As such, the Arsenal ace could be worth a look to hit the target at least once from outside the box on Tuesday night at 9/2 on Bet 365.
The all-action Gunners midfielder is averaging 1.49 shots per game across both the Champions League and Premier League this season.
