Mikel Arteta is set to face the press after Arsenal's Champions League clash with PSG at Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners got off to a fine start in this heavyweight clash and edged in front when Kai Havertz headed home Leandro Trossard's cross.

They were able to double the lead when Bukayo Saka's wide free kick bounced all the way through the PSG defence and beyond Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The Gunners looked dominant but there was some concern as Jurrien Timber was withdrawn at half time with what may have been an injury.

PSG began to grow into the game in the second period and hit the bar through Joao Neves. Ultimately though the Arsenal rear-guard held firm for a crucial three points.

You can hear everything Arteta has to say on all that and more with football.london's chief Arsenal correspondent Kaya Kaynak in our live blog below.

Feels strange to say for a team that only had four shots but #AFC totally in control tonight. Performances of Havertz and Saliba a big part of that. Nice for Merino to get his debut.
