Four tactics Arteta can employ to lead Arsenal past PSG in Champions League comeback

PSG have racked up 82 shots (29 on target) when hosting Manchester City, Liverpool and Aston Villa at the intimidating Parc des Princes this season.

Arsenal seek to turn 'rage, anger, frustration' into a historic Champions League comeback against Paris Saint-Germain, after losing the first leg 1-0. Arsenal's tactical approach will revolve around maintaining a 4-2-3-1 press, dropping Martin Odegaard deeper to dictate play, playing with bravery and aggression similar to Aston Villa's, and capitalizing on set-piece opportunities. The return of Thomas Partey and the fitness of Ousmane Dembele could be decisive.
