Paris Saint-Germain have one foot in the UEFA Champions League final as they prepare to host Arsenal in the second leg of their semifinal clash.
The Ligue 1 champions traveled to the Emirates Stadium last week and left London with a 1-0 win thanks to Ousmane Dembele's fourth-minute goal.
Arsenal tried in vain to draw level, but they will have one final opportunity to reach the pinnacle of European football.
Both teams come into the game on the back of defeats, with Paris losing 2-1 on their travels to Strasbourg, while the Gunners fell to a 2-1 defeat to Bournemouth.
While the first leg of this semifinal was a low-scoring affair, Wednesday's second leg should be an enthralling affair.
Arsenal cannot allow the Parisians to settle into their rhythm, and the Gunners' record on the road has been superb of late.
Mikel Arteta's troops are unbeaten in their last seven away games in all competitions, including their 2-1 win over Real Madrid and 7-1 success over PSV Eindhoven.
The Premier League side have scored in eight of their last nine games in the UEFA Champions League and they will have learned a lot from the first leg.
Any team that can beat Arsenal over two legs in Europe deserves respect, but Arteta's men will do well to keep a clean sheet.
The hosts have only failed to score against Liverpool at home in Europe this season and they have plenty of quality in attack to push them closer to the final.
Paris Saint-Germain's owners have done all they can to provide previous managers with the tools they need to succeed. Often, marquee players were flown to Paris to try and deliver the goods and win the biggest prize in European football.
The likes of Lionel Messi, David Beckham, Neymar and Zlatan Ibrahimovic all failed in their quest to win the UEFA Champions League in Paris, but former Barcelona star Dembele is just two games away from making history.
Dembele has scored 33 goals in 45 appearances for PSG this season, with eight of those goals coming in Europe.
The 27-year-old scored against Arsenal before picking up a hamstring injury, but he was given the weekend off in order to recover.
Luis Enrique has already said he expects Dembele to be fit, and he can continue his incredible scoring record in Europe at Arsenal's expense.
For Arsenal to have any chance of beating PSG, they will need to play with aggression. The Gunners need to overturn a one-goal deficit and then try to find a winner.
The likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino will look to lead by example in the final third, but thankfully for PSG, they have one of the best young midfielders in their ranks in Joao Neves.
Neves has been a revelation in the heart of PSG's midfield, but he has walked a disciplinary tightrope in the UEFA Champions League all season, committing 22 fouls and receiving two yellow cards.
Four of those fouls came in the last meeting with Arsenal, and he will once again be tasked with stopping Arsenal's flair players in key areas.
Neves has built a reputation for himself as a midfield disruptor and he should once again be on hand to cause Arsenal's attackers problems.
