Arsenal faces their biggest match in two decades as Mikel Arteta must choose his starting XI for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest. Only five players appear certain to start: David Raya, William Saliba, Gabriel, Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka. The remaining positions spark genuine selection debates across multiple positions.

Up front, Arteta faces a difficult choice between Viktor Gyokeres and Kai Havertz. Gyokeres leads the scoring charts with 21 goals this season, while Havertz brings experience including a Champions League final winner with Chelsea. Statistics show Arsenal scores equally with either forward, but creates more clear chances through Gyokeres and controls games better with Havertz.

The left wing position sees Leandro Trossard favored over Gabriel Martinelli, whose early-season European form has dried up. Trossard forms part of an attacking trio that has won 12 of 13 Premier League matches together. Martin Odegaard looks certain to start at No 10 despite Eberechi Eze's impressive form, with Arteta praising his ability to connect players and control game flow.

In midfield, the choice sits between Martin Zubimendi's experience and Myles Lewis-Skelly's fresh momentum. Zubimendi has logged 56 appearances this season but showed fatigue, while Lewis-Skelly emerged in May and complements Rice well. These selection calls could prove decisive against PSG's star-studded lineup.
