The Gunners have been draw against Paris Saint-Germain, Basel and Ludogorets Razgrad in Group A.

Arsenal are regulars in the Champions League, and fans should be optimistic about the team finishing in the top two in Group A.

On paper, PSG are a better team and have a better squad than the Gunners, but that does not mean that the North London outfit do not have a chance of finishing top.

The Gunners cannot afford to drop points against Basel and Ludogorets home and away if they are to progress to the last 16 of Europe’s premier club competition as Group A winners.
