Can Bukayo Saka surpass Mo Salah to outperform Nuno Mendes? Who will come out on top in the clash between William Saliba and Ousmane Dembele? Cast your vote on the Arsenal vs. PSG Champions League matchup.

It’s all eyes on the Emirates on Tuesday night as Arsenal prepare to welcome continental showstoppers Paris Saint-Germain to north London.

The cream of the European elite will be on show with the likes of Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia adorning the visitors’ frontline. Meanwhile, the Arsenal trio of Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Declan Rice will look to continue their stellar performances in the competition.

Ahead of the first leg, it’s time to vote on how you see the big battles going..

Can Saka cause Mendes problems?

Nuno Mendes has been a standout performer for PSG on the left of defence this campaign, most notably shutting down Mohamed Salah over two legs as the French side knocked Liverpool out in the round of 16. Not only that, in tandem with fellow full-back Achraf Hakimi, the Portuguese has marauded forward to devastating effect, scoring twice against Aston Villa in the quarter-finals.

But he has a new task in the last four, coming up against Saka. The Arsenal star tormented Real Madrid’s David Alaba in the last round and has seemed fresher than ever after his mid-season break due to injury. It could prove an extremely consequential tête-à-tête.

Saliba v Dembele

One of the many signature moments of Arsenal’s win over Madrid was William Saliba nonchalantly ushering Kylian Mbappe aside at the Bernabeu, as The Gunners’ rearguard refused to budge. Saliba has another all-French job on his hands in the semi-finals as he comes up against the prolific Ousmane Dembele.

The PSG forward is having the season of his life, but will Saliba, still shorn of his customary central defensive partner Gabriel, keep him quiet?

The midfield battle

PSG’s midfield has purred so far in Europe, drawing plaudits far and wide, including from ex-Lille forward Joe Cole. “I think the telling thing in the Liverpool game was the PSG midfield,” Cole said on TNT Sports. “Joao Neves, Vitinha, and Fabian Ruiz just completely dominated. Combine that with the front three, and the subs – Desire Doue coming off the bench, the young lad – they’ve got everything.”

Arsenal’s engine room has also been impressive, with Declan Rice winning back-to-back player of the match awards in the Madrid tie. But with Thomas Partey suspended and Jorginho injured, will Rice have to move back to No. 6, and what impact will that have on the complexion of the game?

And finally, who do you see emerging triumphant after the two legs?
