Arsene Wenger relishing Paris Saint-Germain battle

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has said that Paris Saint-Germain will provide "a good test" for his team in Tuesday's Champions League clash in the French capital.

Arsenal have failed to progress past the last-16 stage of the Champions League in the last six seasons, but are seen, alongside PSG, as the favourites to qualify from a group that also includes FC Basel and Ludogorets Razgrad.

French champions PSG have struggled to hit top form in the early weeks of the 2016-17 campaign, but Wenger is expecting a difficult match at Parc des Princes.

"The two teams are looking for their rhythm. PSG have a few of the same problems as us, but I'm not worrying for them too much. I like to come to Paris, it's my country and a city I love," Wenger told reporters.

"PSG is a good test for us, it's a team above everyone else in France right now, and France always produce good teams and good players. It's exciting to come to us and have a good comparison with where we are to everyone else."

Arsenal will enter the European match off the back of a 2-1 win over Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
