JAKARTA - Two giant teams who are still looking for the Champions League title they want to meet in a big fight on Tuesday night, October 1 or October 2 in the morning WIB, when Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) face off at the Emirates Stadium, London.

While Arsenal were lucky to get a point against Atalanta BC in the first game, their visitors also had to rely on luck in a 1-0 win over Girona which came as a surprise in La Liga.

Arsenal displayed a formidable defense thanks to David Raya's outstanding performance, which thwarted a golden opportunity forLAW Watkins from close range in the match against Aston Villa. However, the double save he made from Mateo Retegui's penalty in the match against Atalanta is proof of how important Raya is for Arsenal in the Champions League.

While Arsenal are still 16th with one point in the Champions League group stage, the draw against Atalanta that destroyed Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen last season shows that the Gunners were able to face major opponents. A dramatic 4-2 win over Leicester City in the Premier League last weekend raised the team's morale ahead of the big match against PSG.

Meanwhile, Luis Enrique's PSG also won a dramatic 1-0 victory over Girona thanks to a fatal mistake from the opposing goalkeeper, Paulo Gazhaniga. However, more stable performance was shown in a 3-1 win over Rennes in Ligue 1, where Bradley Barcola looked stunning by scoring two goals.

This meeting will be the reunion between Arsenal and PSG after eight years since their clash in the 2016-17 Champions League group stage, both ended in a draw. Previously, Arsenal beat PSG 2-1 on aggregate in the 1993-94 UEFA Cup semifinals, which brought the Gunners to the first and only European trophy to date.

Arsenal are predicted to return without Martin Odegaard, who was sidelined by injury. Even so, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus' brilliant performances in attack could be key. David Raya is expected to perform brilliantly again under the bar.

PSG will rely on the strength of their attacking line led by Kolo Muani and Bradley Barcola. Enrique is expected to maintain an attacking formation, although PSG must correct their poor record while playing on British soil.

Both teams have big ambitions in the Champions League, this meeting is certain to be fierce. Arsenal will try to take advantage of support at home, while PSG wants to stop their poor record in England.

Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Rice, Havertz, Vieira; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.

PSG (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Skriniar, Marquinhos, Mendes; Ugarte, Vitinha, Ruiz; Barcola, Mbappe, Dembele.
