Arsenal predicted XI vs PSG for Champions League final

Bukayo Saka and Jurrien Timber to feature for the Gunners.

UEFA Champions League is set for conclusion with defending champions Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to face Arsenal. The team will be playing in an exciting final in Budapest, Hungary.

Arsenal will be coming into the matchup in incredible form, with the side recently crowned as the English champions after 23 years. Mikel Arteta’s side have their eyes set on the prestigious trophy, with a win bringing the first-ever European trophy to the London club.

They had an excellent record in the league phase, finishing with a perfect record. The team has a formidable defence, conceding only six goals in the tournament.

Paris Saint-Germain are eyeing their second consecutive title, to become only the second side to achieve the record since 1992. While their opponents have a strong defence, PSG are known for their attacking prowess. The team is led by attacking talents Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia and Doué leading the frontline.

Arsenal enter the matchup with multiple injury woes. Jurriën Timber is one of the key players whose involvement is in doubt.

The Dutch defender had an incredible start to the season; however, he was eventually sidelined after suffering a devastating groin injury. Despite the manager assuring the players’ availability, whether Timber will be starting is still in doubt.

With Ben White ruled out for the season, the decision regarding the starting full-back is still not confirmed. Noni Madueke is also another player in doubt to feature in the matchup. The English attacker suffered a hamstring cramp during Arsenal’s last league fixture against Crystal Palace. However, Arteta has clarified that the player is fit and has returned to training.

Another return from injury is Spanish midfielder Mikel Merino. The player featured as a substitute in the last league game, intending to return to full fitness
