Arsenal are currently on their pre-season tour of Singapore, where they’ve already finished their first match against Atletico Madrid, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Although, with plenty of improvements still required before the start of the season, fans are calling out for some of the regular first-team members to impress in their next outing.
The London club have already drafted in a number of fresh faces this summer as they have their sights set firmly on challenging for the Premier League title. But, with very little time left before the start of the season, it’s important that Unai Emery can get his side to gel together in such a short space of time.
Next up for Arsenal is a game with French giants Paris Saint-Germain. It will be very interesting to see how the Gunners perform against a very impressive side, with some promising young talents. So, the Gunners will need to up their game and get the ball flowing, as a lacklustre performance against a side like PSG could prove very costly.
The full list of travelling Arsenal players can be found at football.london, and using that list and taking Emery’s selection from the last game into consideration, we’ve come up with a team that we think the Spaniard could line up with against PSG.

ARSENAL’S POTENTIAL TEAM VS PSG
We’ve gone with a 4-2-3-1 formation, as that is the formation that Emery has looked to make us of during pre-season thus far. This allows the wingers to make use of their pace out wide and allows the attacking midfielder to work in a pocket of space, with two defensive midfielders snuffing out any danger and protecting the defence.
Arsenal will look to give Petr Cech a chance in goal after catching a glimpse of summer signing Bernd Leno last time out against Atletico Madrid.
In defence, Hector Bellerin will slot in at right-back and Ainsley Maitland-Niles will line up on the opposite flank, with the latter looking to impress once again after enjoying his breakthrough season last time out. Callum Chambers and Sokratis Papastathopoulos will line up at the heart of the defence, with the Greek international looking to make a good impression.
Aaron Ramsey and the promising Joe Willock will operate in the midfield, with a lot of supporters excited to see how the youngster fares against a tough opposition.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be looking to use his pace to get into promising positions down the left-hand side, while Reiss Nelson will be hoping to bag himself a goal on the opposite flank. And, Henrikh Mkhitaryan will operate as an attacking midfielder, linking up play and threading balls through for the striker.
Lastly, Alexandre Lacazette struggled to find the back of the net during their last outing, but he will be more determined than ever to score against Paris Saint-Germain in their next fixture, as he will lead the line for the Gunners once again.
