"It's been a little while now and I think that in regards to the match its obviously a different match," . "It will be a different match, obviously because of the stage of the competition we're at.

"We're not going to change the way we play. But obviously we're going to do something differently and tomorrow we're looking for the win."

PSG are also very fortunate to have no serious injury doubts for the game but the same cannot be said for Arsenal.

Riccardo Calafiori however, was still missing with the Italian having been absent since the March international break. Jorginho was not spotted either and while Thomas Partey was present, he is suspended for the first leg.

One player that could get joy from several Arsenal players being moved around is Doue. The skilful Frenchman netted a wondergoal against Villa in the previous round and is capable of getting joy in the centre of the pitch as well as out wide.

And ahead of the upcoming European clash, he has sent a brief but very clear message. On his , alongside a photo before the Nice defeat, he said: "Focus on Tuesday [red and blue heart emoji.]"

Enrique likely faces a big decision on the 19-year-old with Bradley Barcola also vying for a spot in the team alongside Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Elsewhere for PSG, Achraf Hakimi has been rested in recent weeks with Willian Pacho also missing a game due to illness though he has since returned.
