Three reasons why Arsenal can beat PSG in Champions League blockbuster - Gunners face tough semi-final challenge but there is reason for optimism

The dates for Arsenal's Champions League semi-final against Paris St-Germain have been confirmed by Uefa. The Gunners will host PSG on Tuesday, 29 April before travelling to the French capital to face the Ligue 1 champions the following Wednesday (7 May). Both games will kick-off at 20:00 BST.

The Champions League remains the one major trophy that has eluded Arsenal throughout their history, but after knocking out the defending champions and with a semi-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain — who they beat 2-0 in the league stage — Mikel Arteta’s side will undoubtedly believe this could be their year.
