Welcome to The Independent's live coverage of the Champions League clash between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, brought to you live from the Emirates Stadium as the two European heavyweights battle for the right to top Group A.

Despite both teams having two games remaining in the group stage, they have already secured their path to the last-16 thanks to taking nine points 10 points from their opening three matches. Arsenal made hard work of it, wit Mesut Özil's late goal securing a 3-2 win over Bulagarian champions Ludogorets last time out in Europe, while PSG left it even later with a last-minute winner against Basel.

However, there's still plenty to play for. Arsenal have not finished top of their Champions League group for six years, and tricky last-16 ties with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Monaco and AC Milan have followed. Fans are determined not to let the same happen this season, and Arsene Wenger has also been vocal in his determination to secure top spot this time around.

PSG won't be easy pushovers though, and they now trail Ligue 1 leaders Nice by just three points after recording a six-match unbeaten streak following a tricky start.

With the match due to kick-off at 19:45 UK time, we'll bring you all the latest news, team selections and updates from 18:30, but before then take a read of what the manager's had to say in the build-up to the match.
