This is considered Arsenal's most important match in the past two decades, and coach Mikel Arteta is facing a series of difficult decisions.
After celebrating the Premier League title, the Spanish coach now has to focus entirely on the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, the team that many people are considering the strongest in the world at the moment.
It is noteworthy that, if excluding injuries, Arsenal probably only has 5 players guaranteed a starting spot including David Raya, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. The remaining positions are all open.
Choice of left wing for attack
The left-wing striker position is making Arteta consider. At the beginning of the season, Gabriel Martinelli was considered an irreplaceable choice in this corridor. The Brazilian player scored in 6/7 of the first matches in the Champions League this season and often made a difference in the European arena.
However, Martinelli's form has clearly declined. Since the most recent goal in the Champions League in January, he has only scored one more goal in all competitions.
Meanwhile, Leandro Trossard is strongly revived right at the most important time of the season.
The trio Trossard - Gyokeres - Saka is becoming Arsenal's most effective attacking option. In 13 Premier League matches where all three started, Arsenal won 12 matches and only lost points once.
In the Champions League, they have only started together once, in the second leg semi-final against Atletico Madrid. And it was this trio that coordinated to create the decisive goal.
Eberechi Eze is also a potential option on the left wing, but with his current form, Trossard is the most promising candidate.
Odegaard or Eze for the number 10 role?
Eberechi Eze may bring more breakthroughs in the attacking midfielder position, but Martin Odegaard is still an almost irreplaceable choice.
The return of the Norwegian captain helps Arsenal operate more smoothly. Despite experiencing a season affected by injuries, Odegaard still leads the team in many important creative indicators.
Arteta once described Odegaard as "the person who connects everything" in Arsenal's playing style. His ability to control the tempo, pressing and leadership is considered paramount in big matches.
Eze can make a difference when coming on as a substitute, but in a Champions League final, it is very difficult for Arteta to remove his captain from the starting lineup.
Zubimendi or Lewis-Skelly playing alongside Rice?
The remaining position in midfield is also a noteworthy topic. Martin Zubimendi is a familiar choice in the number 6 role for most of the season. The Spanish midfielder brings very good ball control and match control ability. However, signs of overload began to appear at the end of the season when he played 56 matches - the highest number in his career.
That opens up opportunities for Myles Lewis-Skelly. The young English talent has emerged strongly since May when he was pulled into midfield. Lewis-Skelly quickly showed confidence, tackling ability and abundant energy to support Declan Rice.
The dynamism and stability of this young player may be factors that help Arsenal create a better balance in midfield in the match against PSG.
The match between PSG and Arsenal takes place at 11:00 PM on May 30 (Vietnam time).
