UEFA Champions League nights return tonight with the first leg of the first semifinal match being played at the Emirates Stadium in London. Both Arsenal and PSG will be hoping to clinch their first UEFA Champions League titles, as neither of the two teams has won the trophy before. This article is a preview of the fixture.

Arsenal, the home side, will be without the services of the Ghanaian defensive midfielder Thomas Partey as the midfielder will be serving his suspension in the competition after accumulating a high number of yellow cards. Also, they will be without the services of experienced midfielder Jorginho, as the midfielder is also suffering with a chest injury. PSG, on the other hand, have all their players fully fit and ready for the game.
